Beschreibung

The Schirmer lab is part of the ZIEL - Institute for Food & Health at the Technical University of Munich and located in Freising-Weihenstephan. The research of our lab focuses on the human microbiome, especially gut microbes, and investigates potential mechanisms of host-microbial interactions in health and disease. We are particular interested in the role of the microbiome in inflammatory and auto-immune diseases and how hormone-microbiome interactions impact female health. To address these questions, we use integrated multi-omics analyses (metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metabolomics) combined with the subsequent isolation of the strains in the lab to study these mechanisms.

Network with our national and international collaborators and present our work at conferences and scientific meetings

Requirements:

PhD in microbiology or a relevant field
Experience in classical and molecular microbiology techniques
Experience with culturing bacteria (in particular anaerobes) and isolating bacterial strains from human samples
Additional qualifications:
Experience with immunological assays and human cell lines is an advantage
