Beschreibung

The University Hospital of Tübingen is a leading center of German university medicine. Every year, around 75,000 inpatients and around 380,000 outpatients are treated. With around 10,000 employees, it is the largest employer in the region. The quality of patient care is certified with the KTQ seal of approval.
Our Image Guided and Functionally Instructed Tumor Therapies (iFIT) research group of Dr. Liudmila Andreeva is looking for a

PhD student (f/m/d) in structural immuno-oncology:
The part-time-position (65 %) is available from May 2023 and for 1 year with further extension expected.

The iFIT Cluster of Excellence "Image Guided and Functionally Instructed Tumor Therapies (iFIT)" is a multidisciplinary research consortium with an ambitious goal - to understand biological processes behind tumors and to develop the next generation cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.

The Andreeva lab focuses on structural and mechanistical aspects of inflammatory pathways underlying human inflammation-associated disorders such as cancer.

By using various structural, biochemical and cell-based approaches we aim to explain inflammatory pathways on molecular level and to provide basis and foundation for novel anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer treatments.
