Phillip Moos, PhD, is an assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Utah and a member of the Cell Response and Regulation Program at Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Moos studies the reduction-oxidation relationship between inflammation and cancer. He is particularly interested in the role of selenoproteins in the origin of cancer. He also studies the role of thioredoxin reductase-1 in melanoma, and nanoparticles found in consumer products as potential initiators of inflammatory responses and cancer.

Moos received a bachelor's degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and a PhD from Kansas State University.
