Mohamed Abdel-Mohsen

The Abdel-Mohsen Lab at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to investigate how glycomic dysregulation shapes immune dysfunction in health and disease, with a special emphasis on cancer, aging, and HIV infection. The lab focuses on the human glycome, an intricate layer of sugars coating cells, proteins, and lipids, and explores how these glycans regulate immunity, inflammation, and disease. Research integrates glycomics, immunology, virology, and systems biology to reveal how viruses, cancer, and aging reshape the glycome, driving immune dysfunction and inflammaging. Applicants should be excited about translating glycan biology into new ways to understand and target immune dysfunction in cancer, aging, and/or HIV. Preferred experience includes cancer immunology (with animal models), glycoimmunology, viral immunology, immunologic or molecular assays, and human translational research. The lab aims to advance diagnostics and glyco-immunotherapies that extend healthspan for people aging with chronic diseases. The position is based at Northwestern University, a leading institution in medical research. The lab is affiliated with the Division of Infectious Diseases, Center for Human Immunobiology, Potocsnak Longevity Institute, and Third Coast Center for AIDS Research. Interested candidates should send a CV and a brief note to [email protected]. For more information about the lab's research, visit the lab website.
