About this position
The Grelet Lab in the Department of Oncology Science at the NCI-designated OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join an NIH-funded programme on cancer neuroscience and metabolism.
The project examines how the nervous system interacts with cancer cells, with a particular focus on intercellular transfer of mitochondria during cancer progression. The lab has recently developed lineage-tracing methods to follow mitochondrial transfer in metastasis, and the successful fellow will build on these tools to investigate how cancer innervation and mitochondrial acquisition can drive metabolic reprogramming and metastatic behaviour.
The work is highly cross-disciplinary, combining in silico analysis with experimental validation in vivo. The postdoc will be expected to contribute to studies involving advanced molecular biology, molecular imaging, physiological assays, and mouse models of metastasis within a collaborative laboratory environment equipped with cutting-edge instrumentation.
This position is based in a cancer center setting with strong research infrastructure and a focus on mechanistic discovery in tumour biology and neuroscience.
