- Pathogenesis of Virus Associated Tumors
At the German Cancer Research Center, our mission is to investigate how cancer develops, identify cancer risk factors, and find new cancer prevention strategies. We develop new methods to diagnose tumors more precisely and treat cancer patients more successfully.
The Research Group of Prof. Dr. Henri-Jacques Delecluse is seeking a creative and highly skilled PhD student to study the role of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS). EBV causes various types of malignant tumors, but a recent study has shown that EBV infection is also a strong risk factor for MS. MS is a demyelinating disease that mainly affects young adults and leads to progressive neurodegeneration and disability. The project will involve characterizing interactions between the virus, the immune system, and the central nervous system.
Your TasksThe project will involve:
- Characterizing interactions between the virus, the immune system, and the central nervous system
- Manipulating infected cells, reprogrammed neural cells, and the immune system, particularly T cells specific for viral antigens
- Master's degree in biology, medicine, biochemistry, or related disciplines
- Previous experience in common molecular and cellular biology techniques, competence in bioinformatics is an asset
- Excellent command of written and oral English, with a proof of language proficiency (IELTS >6.5 or TOEFL>90)
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Applications should include contact details of two referees.
