Join the forefront of groundbreaking research at the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, where we're changing lives and making a real difference in the fight against cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. Our dedicated and compassionate faculty and staff are driven by a common mission: Contribute to innovative approaches in predicting, preventing, and curing diseases, shaping the future of medicine through cutting-edge research.

A Postdoctoral Fellowship position is readily available in the laboratory of Dr. Wendong Huang in Arthur Riggs Diabetes and Metabolism Research Institute at City of Hope.

The self-motivated Postdoctoral Fellow will work on projects investigating the new pathways and targets in diabetes/obesity and other metabolic diseases. We use genetically engineered mouse models and molecular pharmacology tools to identify novel signaling pathways in metabolism to develop new targets for drug discovery.

Our research interests include:

1) Liver-gut and microbiota crosstalk as metabolic mediators in regulating both normal physiology and pathogenesis.

2) Development of novel drugs to treat MASH, diabetes, PCOS and other metabolic diseases.
