[Master Thesis] In situ N-glycomics for tumor characterization

23.09.2025, Diplomarbeiten, Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten

Are you curious about how molecular details hidden in tissues can reveal key insights into disease? This thesis project offers you the chance to explore N-glycomics in tumors through mass spectrometry imaging.

Topic: Investigation of glycans and their role in cancer

Why is this exciting?

Glycomics provides sensitive and specific biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy development by detecting changes in glycan structures and glycosylation patterns. By analyzing glycans directly in tissue, mass spectrometry imaging preserves morphological context while providing molecular information, enabling a deeper understanding of tumor biology.

What you will gain 🚀

• Hands-on experience in mass spectrometry imaging
• Solid knowledge in spatialomics
• Insights into tumor pathology
• Understanding of method development in molecular research

Requirements 📌

These projects require availability for laboratory work 2–3 days per week on-site at the Institute of Pathology, Technical University of Munich (TUM).
