09.07.2024, Abschlussarbeiten, Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten

The chair of Infection Pathogenesis (Prof. Friederike Ebner) together with Dr. habil. Tatiana Flisikowski is seeking a highly motivated Master's student with a life science background to join our research team located @Campus Weihenstephan. The student will work on a project that aims to implement Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) engineering to produce pig anti-tumour and/or anti-pathogen T cells and test their functional capacity.
We expect a high level of motivation and a strong interest in immunology and cell biology. Extensive wet lab experience is of advantage. The student will perform experiments with primary immune cells, analyze and interpret data and will be trained for cell culture methods, flow cytometry and microscopy.
We expect a high level of motivation and a strong interest in parasites as organisms and cell biology. Extensive wet lab experience is of advantage. The student will perform experiments with a zoonotic pathogen, analyze and interpret data and will be trained for cell culture methods and microscopy.
The start date is flexible, but ideally, the candidate should be available to start in the late summer (Sept) 2024. To apply, please send a cover letter stating your motivation, CV and current transcripts to: friederike.ebner@tum.de
