The Applied Molecular Signaling Laboratory (LabSIMA) at UNIFESP is seeking a postdoctoral candidate for a FAPESP-funded fellowship. This project aims to identify novel molecular pathways associated with aging-related senescence that contribute to tumor formation and progression, utilizing scRNA-seq.
The research will also investigate tumor innervation, exploring its connections with aging, the mTOR pathway, and the tumor microenvironment, with the goal of generating new therapeutic strategies for lung cancer.
