Postdoctoral Position in Skeletal Regeneration, Diabetes, and Spatial Biology Location: University of Pennsylvania - Penn Dental Open Date: Jul 21, 2026 Deadline: A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Dana Graves at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Dental Medicine, Department of Periodontics, to investigate a newly identified mechanism through which diabetes impairs fracture healing and to develop a locally delivered therapeutic strategy to restore skeletal repair. The project is supported by strong preliminary evidence demonstrating that lineage-specific deletion of FOXO1 in chondrocytes or osteoblasts reverses diabetes-impaired fracture healing. We have also found that disruption of primary cilia in these skeletal lineages reproduces defining features of defective repair in diabetes. Together, these findings identify and strongly support a previously unrecognized FOXO1-primary cilia signaling axis as an important regulator of...

Postdoctoral Position: Red Blood Cell Immunobiology Location: Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Open Date: Jun 09, 2026 Deadline: The Mangalmurti Laboratory, in the Department of Medicine's Divison of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care, invites applications for a postdoctoral position focused on evaluating red blood cells (RBCs) as a novel liquid biopsy platform for cancer detection and disease monitoring. This industry-sponsored project will investigate the biological basis, analytical performance, and translational potential of RBC-associated tumor DNA (rtDNA) as a new substrate for precision oncology applications. The laboratory recently discovered that RBCs rapidly acquire and retain tumor-derived DNA, revealing an unexpected role for RBCs in cancer biology and liquid biopsy. Emerging data suggest that RBC-associated tumor DNA may provide a sensitive and complementary source of tumor-derived genetic material that can overcome some of...
