PhD student in Immunology
The Institute for Experimental Neuroimmunology at the University Clinics of the Technical University Munich is calling for applications for a PhD position, available immediately. The applicants will explore the identity, regulation and relevance of regulatory T cells in the post-inflammatory central nervous system. We will establish how their presence and function is related to prolonged adaptive processes, i.e. local immune regulation, tissue recovery and -dysfunction, using mouse models for multiple sclerosis in conjunction with RNA-seq and ATAC-seq as well as targeted gene editing. Our group is centrally located at one of Munich’s best biomedical campuses with intense international cooperation.
