Open Master Project
Antigen presentation to alloreactive T cells
A master thesis project is available to study the antigen presentation in acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD). Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curable therapy for certain malignancies. Nevertheless, 30–60% of HSCT patients develop aGvHD, which is caused by allogeneic T-cells attacking host tissues. In our lab, we are investigating how defined cell types boost aGvHD initiation.
Successful candidates will employ a broad array of research methods such as cell culture, flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, and in vivo mouse models. Interested and highly motivated candidates will be given the opportunity to participate in an interdisciplinary translational research project.
Interested applicants should have basic lab experience (preferably with immunology background) and good communication skills in English.
Interested applicants should send their electronic application & CV to,

Immunobiology of Regulatory T cells (Tregs)
A Bachelor/Master thesis project is available to study the biology of human and mouse regulatory T cells, important signaling pathways and cell-cell-interactions of immune regulation in inflammation and cancer. Successful candidates will employ a broad array of research methods such as cell culture, immunological assays, multiparameter flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, transfection, qRT-PCR and in vivo mouse models of non-invasive optical imaging. Interested and highly motivated candidates will be given the opportunity to participate in an interdisciplinary translational research project.
