PhD (f/m/d) Structural Biology of Inflammation

PART TIME

October 15, 2024

The Faculty of Medicine is one of the four founding faculties of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. With its non-clinical facilities as well as its research and teaching area corresponding to the organisational units of the University Hospital, it is one of the largest medical training and research institutions in Baden-Württemberg.Within our Department of Medical Oncology and Pneumology & Cluster of Excellence „Image-guided and Functionally Instructed Tumor Therapies“ (i FIT) we are looking for a
Ph D (f/m/d) Structural Biology of Inflammation
in parttime (65%) and limited for 2 years with further extension expected.
Inflammation is the first-line defence protecting out bodies against various infections and damages. However, dysregulated due to mutations, environmental factors or life style, inflammation does more bad than good. Indeed, chronic inflammation stands behind such pathologies as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegeneration, cancer and many other diseases of the modern-day society. The Andreeva lab focuses on structural and functional aspects of inflammatory pathways underlying these pathologies. By using a combination of structural, biochemical and cell-based approaches we aim to comprehensively explain inflammatory pathways from molecular to cellular level, which is crucial for clinical applications and development of novel anti-inflammatory treatments, as well as next generation cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, which are the main goal of the i FIT Cluster of Excellence „Image Guided and Functionally Instructed Tumor Therapies (i FIT)“ consortium, which we are part of.
