PhD position (E13/2) in cellular & molecular immunology

We are a young and motivated departrnent which focusses on deciphering immune cell function.We are particularly interested in investigating the effector function of Cytotoxic T lymphocytes which are an important part of the adaptive immune system and in the long term in immunotherapy for Cancer.

We will use a combination of molecular biology, imaging and electro-physiological techniques. These state-of-the art techniques include total internal reflection microscopy, super resolution methodes such as Stimulation emmission depletion (STED) microscopy and Structured illumination microscopy (SIM).
