Tissue Typing of Prostate Cancer

04.09.2025, Abschlussarbeiten, Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten

Prostate cancer development is accompanied by profound molecular changes in both protein expression and glycosylation patterns. These molecular alterations are promising candidates for improved diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic strategies.

In this project, you will apply MSI to map proteins and glycans within prostate tissues, enabling spatially resolved molecular profiling that links biochemistry with histopathology. This integrative approach opens the door to a more precise understanding of prostate cancer biology.

What you will gain 🚀

• Hands-on experience in mass spectrometry imaging
• Solid knowledge of proteomics and glycomics
• Insights into tumor pathology

Requirements 📌

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