Description
Our group is interested in understanding the mechanisms that lead to immune imbalance and disease. Here, we particularly focus on studying the interplay of environmental factors (nutrition, microbiome) with CD4+ T cells and macrophages in the context of autoimmunity, cardiovascular diseases and cancer (for an overview: M ller et al., Nat Rev Immunol 2019, Arroyo Hornero et al., Front. Immunol. 2020). To study these processes, we use a translational approach, combining the analysis of human samples and using experimental model systems by different immunological, microbiological and molecular biology state-of-the-art techniques.
We are looking for a highly motivated research technician to strengthen our team who will participate in research projects in cellular immunology and microbiology. Ideally, the successful candidate should have a strong background and experience in standard immunological and molecular biology techniques (e.g. murine animal models of disease, cell culture, flow cytometry/FACS, PCR, ELISA, Western blotting). The post holder should be further willing to assist lab members in their daily work for research projects. In addition, the applicant should be willing to manage administrative tasks and coordinate daily lab routine duties and orderings. The applicant must have excellent communication, teamwork and interpersonal skills and a high grade of independence. Fluency in English is required.
