Postdoctoral Fellow in Innate Immunity and Cancer Immunology

The Wu lab ( is currently seeking a highly motivated Postdoc Fellow to join our research team in the Center for Immunotherapy & Precision Immuno-Oncology at Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute. The Wu lab is interested in understanding the fundamental mechanism of innate immunity and its impact on adaptive immunity, inflammation, and cancer. Dr. Wus lab is currently employing multifaceted approaches and mouse disease models to uncover the novel immunostimulatory or immunosuppressive mechanisms of cGAS-STING pathway in antitumor immunity and autoimmunity. The overarching goal of the Wu lab is to harness innate immunity to develop new immunotherapies for cancer and inflammatory diseases.

Our recent research has been published in top-tier journals, including Immunity (PMIDs: 40010341, 32640258), PNAS (PMID: 38985760), Journal of Experimental Medicine (PMID: 30886058), and Cell Host & Microbe (PMID: 26320998). Our research is currently supported by multiple prestigious awards, including the NIH MERIT Award, Mathers Foundation Award, V Scholar Award, MRA Young Investigator Award, and ACS Catalyst Award, among others.
