Neuherberg near Munich
At Helmholtz Munich, we develop groundbreaking solutions for a healthier society in a rapidly changing world. We believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation. Through strong partnerships, we accelerate the transfer of new ideas from the lab to real-life applications, improving lives.
B-cell responses are essential for humoral immunity against pathogens because they lead to the generation of antibody-secreting cells that produce large amounts of antigen-specific antibodies. These cells also have the potential to become quiescent and long-lived, which is fundamental for immunological memory against pathogens. B-cell responses are also key mediators of diseases, such as allergies, antibody-mediated autoimmunity, and malignancies.
Our Group at the Institute of Allergy Research (IAF)/Center for Allergy and Environment (ZAUM) at Helmholtz and the Technical University of Munich focuses on studying the processes of B lymphocyte activation and differentiation into effector B cells, such as antibody-secreting cells and memory B cells. We are seeking a highly motivated Master’s student (f/m/x) to join our research team for a thesis project.
Your tasks
The lab has previously established an in vivo model system for pooled single-guide RNA (sgRNA) CRISPR/Cas9 screening, which has led to the identification of several novel regulators of B cell-mediated responses. Building on this expertise, the student’s project will focus on developing new CRISPR/Cas9 screening systems to uncover regulators of effector B cells in mouse models of type 2 immunity and allergic responses.
Your profile
- Practical scientific experience and a strong theoretical background in fields such as immunology, genetics, epigenetics, molecular biology or biochemistry.
- An interest in research using mice as animal models.
- A high degree of scientific curiosity, creativity, flexibility, and enthusiasm for working in an interdisciplinary and international team.
This position has a fixed term, depending on the requirements of your study program.
What we offer:
- Work-Life-Balance Flexible working hours and flexi-time models
- Health Promotion Sports, company doctor, mental health initiatives
- Personal Development Comprehensive in-house training and development opportunities
Managing Directors Matthias Tschöp and Mike Frieser:
"We believe that diversity is the key to groundbreaking research and innovative solutions. Our flexible working models and remote options create a supportive environment for balancing work and family life. For us, contributing to a healthier society in such an inspiring workplace is truly meaningful."
