Background
Our lab strives to develop novel nanotherapeutics and imaging probes to study the innate immune system in health and disease including cardiovascular disease cancer and organ transplant rejection. Besides an extensive wet lab we have access to a large vivarium a cell culture room and state-of-the-art flow cytometry microscopy and next-generation sequencing equipment. Furthermore our cutting-edge imaging facilities (including PET MR IVIS and CT modalities) allow clinically relevant readouts in both small and large animal models.
Tasks and responsibilities
You will use in vitro assays and small- and large-animal models to unravel how the innate immune system regulates health and disease including allograft rejection atherosclerosis and breast cancer. This will involve extensive collaboration with chemists nanomedicine experts and in vivo imaging specialists to develop novel tools for diagnosis and treatment and initiate their clinical translation. You will also share your results through scientific publications and oral presentations and function as part of a highly motivated multidisciplinary team.
Requirements
- A Ph.D. in immunology or a comparable discipline.
- Profound experience in common immunological assays including flow cytometry ELISA Western Blotting RNA-
sequencing metabolic flux analyses and cell culturing.
- Excellent communication and writing skills in the English language.
- You are a team player and excited to collaborate with others.
- Experience in nanomedicine and/or nuclear imaging is highly desirable.
