**Your Tasks**:***

The project is focused on hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection, which is the most severe form of viral hepatitis, leading to liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and ultimately death. In addition to spread via assembled virions, HDV - in contrast to HBV - propagates through mitosis of hepatocytes, a spreading pathway inhibited upon activation of the interferon system. This project aims to better understand HDV cell division-mediated spread, and the response of the surrounding immune cells, using HDV-infected human liver biopsies that will be analyzed using immunohistochemistry, imaging mass cytometry, and spatial transcriptomics methods. Focussing on non-specific cells of the adaptive immune system (in particular non-specific CD8 T cells), designated aspects will be further investigated in functional experiments in cell culture.
- As a part of the TRR179, this project is integrated into several collaborations across the 3 sites Heidelberg, Freiburg and Munich.**Your Profile**:***
- Masters degree in Biosciences or related field
- Traning and experience in computational data analysis (preferably in R)
