The Research Group "Tumorvirus-specific Vaccination Strategies" at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) is seeking a

PhD Student in Translational Research

Reference number: -

  • Heidelberg
  • Full-time
  • Research Group "Tumorvirus-specific Vaccination Strategies"

The research group, led by Prof. Martin Müller, is inviting applications from highly qualified candidates for a PhD position in the project: "Antibody-Mediated Cellular Functions, Neutrali­zation Activity, and B-Cell Responses Induced by an Anti-Human Papilloma­virus Vaccine Targeting the Minor Capsid Protein L2." This project, funded by the German Cancer Aid, is part of an ongoing phase I clinical trial investi­gating the prophylactic papillomavirus vaccine PANHPVAX. The aim of the PhD project is to explore the immune responses elicited in healthy volunteers following PANHPVAX vaccination.

Your Tasks

The N-terminal region of the human papillomavirus (HPV) L2 protein has been shown to contain epitopes able to induce the production of neutralizing and cross-neutralizing anti­bodies. Using bacterial thioredoxin as a scaffold, we managed to significantly enhance the immunogenicity of putative L2 neutra­lizing epitopes. In the past years, we extensively opti­mized the prophylactic vaccine antigen and also determined its safety in an animal model.

We now entered into a clinical development phase and are starting a phase I clinical trial (EudraCT No.: --22). This trial should demonstrate safety and immunogenicity. Our vaccine is based on a single molecule, is highly thermostable and more importantly, induces protective responses against all oncogenic HPV as well as a number of so called ‘low risk’ HPV. Therefore, the vaccine has the potential to provide protection against HPV also in regions where the current HPV vaccines cannot be distributed, which applies to about two thirds of all countries.

This position offers exceptional development opportunities in the rapidly evolving field of translational medicine, with a focus on the design, execution, and oversight of pre-clinical studies. The DKFZ provides an outstanding research environment, with access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and comprehensive material cost funding.

Your Profile

We are seeking highly motivated candidates with a master's degree in biochemistry, biology, or molecular medicine, and a strong background in immunology and/or molecular biology. The ideal candidate should be a team player with the ability to conduct independent research rigorously, while also embracing the collaborative spirit of our research group.

We Offer
  • Excellent framework conditions: state-of-the-art equipment and oppor­tunities for inter­national networking at the highest level
  • Access to international research networks
  • Doctoral salary with the usual social benefits
  • 30 days of vacation per year
  • Flexible working hours
  • Possibility of part-time work
  • Family-friendly working environ­ment
  • Sustainable travel to work: subsidized Germany job ticket
  • Unleash your full potential: targeted training and mentoring through the DKFZ International PhD Program and DKFZ Career Service
  • Our Corporate Health Manage­ment Program offers a holistic approach to your well-being

Contact:
Prof. Dr. Martin Müller
Phone: 42-

The position is initially limited to 3 years.

Then become part of the DKFZ and join us in contributing to a life without cancer
