Einleitungstext

The Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Optogenetic Therapies and the Institute of Cardiovascular Physiology invite applications for an excellent and highly motivated PhD student with an interest in translation of optogenetics into the clinics to join the platform 4) for immune-phenotyping of the newly founded Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Optogenetic Therapies (EKFZ: ). The position will be filled subject to the funding provider releasing the funds.

The EKFZ at the University Medical Center Göttingen is dedicated to the translation of the four core optogenetic approaches to restore i) hearing and ii) vision and explore the potential of optogenetics for iii) gastric pacemaking and iv) brain-computer interfaces. These four teams are supported by the platforms for 1) opsin engineering, 2) gene transfer, 3) disease models, 4) immune-phenotyping and 5) development of medical devices.

The EKFZ relies on a close interdisciplinary collaboration between the University Medical Center Göttingen, the faculties of Physics, Mathematics, and Biology of the University, and non-university research institutions in Göttingen, such as the German Primate Center and the Max Planck Institutes for Multidisciplinary Sciences and for Dynamics and Self-Organization, as well as partners at the Medical University Hannover (MHH) and University of Freiburg.
