Dr. Tracy McGaha is looking for a postdoc scientist to join his team!

Dr. McGaha's research investigates the mechanisms that regulate immune tolerance and inflammation, with a particular focus on the roles of negative feedback pathways, tissue-resident macrophages, and interactions between innate and adaptive immune cells in cancer and autoimmune disease. His laboratory has made significant contributions to understanding how the clearance of dying cells maintains immune homeostasis, demonstrating that defects in these pathways can drive autoimmunity while limiting effective anti-tumour immunity.
