The project will be part of collaborative Research Center/Transregio (SFB-TRR 353, ), dedicated to the research of biological processes that regulate the phenomenon of cell death at the molecular level.

The Transregio project will offer you the opportunity to work in collaboration with several groups involved in the TRR, thus giving you the opportunity to exchange expertise and skills with other colleagues.
