Beschreibung

Our mission as research center:
Discover personalized medical solutions for environmentally triggered diseases to promote a healthier society in a rapidly changing world.

The (HPC) founded and funded by Helmholtz Munich stands for the intelligent fusion of biomedical sciences, engineering and digitization.

At HPC, top scientific talents from across the globe work together on the development of novel solutions that make a difference in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

The investigates the molecular mechanisms of ageing using single-cell genomics with the aim to discover novel molecular makers of ageing and advance the development of anti-ageing therapeutic approaches.

In particular, we focus on the common molecular mechanisms between ageing and chronic liver diseases, and we develop novel methodologies to study the impact of age-related cellular heterogeneity in the development and progression of chronic diseases.

We are looking for a highly motivated
