Bonn, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland Universitätsklinikum Bonn Vollzeit

The University Hospital Bonn (UKB) is a maximum care hospital with more than 1,300 beds. Our more than 9,000 employees perform tasks in research, teaching and patient care as well as in public health care at the highest level. In the science ranking (LOMV) and in the economic result, the UKB ranks first among university hospitals in NRW and had the third highest case-mix index of university hospitals in Germany in 2021.

The Medical Clinic III at the University Hospital Bonn has the following full-time position (38,5 hours/week) available as soon as possible:

PhD student (m/f/d) in T cell immunology/immune regulation in allogeneic stem cell transplantation and cellular immunotherapy

The position is initially project-related and limited for three years with the prospect of an extension of the employment.

Our "Laboratory for Experimental Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapy" focuses on basic and translational research assessing humoral and cellular immunoregulatory mechanisms during allogeneic stem cell transplantation and other cellular immunotherapies, mainly CAR T cells. Furthermore, we assess the impact of dietary habits on the immune function during those cell therapies. In addition, using nanobody technology we aim to identify new treatment options for malignant diseases.
Qa-1 restricted CD8+ regulatory T cells (Treg) are a newly identified T cell population in mice that play a major role in regulating immune responses in autoimmunity, infection and cancer. Recent analyses have defined thorough phenotypical and functional characteristics of this CD8+ T cell subset. However, the functional human homologue of Qa-1 restricted CD8+ Treg could not yet be established.

In this project, our laboratory seeks to further assess the role of murine CD8+ Treg in various disease models and additionally focuses on the identification of the human homologue of murine CD8+ Treg. We use the knowledge recently gained from murine experiments to define human HLA-E restricted CD8+ Treg and close collaborations with the Department of Hematology and Oncology of the University Hospital Bonn allow the assessment of this CD8+ T cell subset in human disease.
