Master Thesis Position
“Discovery of cellular molecules important for chemokine actions of murine cytomegalovirus-encoded chemokine 2 (Mck2)”
About us:
Join the Institute of Immunology at Hannover Medical School, home of dynamic research and equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. We invite you to become a part of our team and contribute to an exciting and highly relevant research project. Our experienced team offers comprehensive support to ensure the successful completion of your project and holds years of expertise in a variety of involved methods, which include
- Cell culture
- Spectral flow cytometry
- Fluorescent microscopy
- CRISPR/Cas9-induced gene editing
- Different cell migration assays
Your role:
As a Master thesis candidate, you will learn how to grow mouse monocyte/macrophage cell line and use it in different cell migration assays towards Mck2 protein. Utilizing CRISPR/Cas9-induced gene editing, you will delete selected cellular molecules to evaluate their role in the monocyte/macrophage binding and migration to Mck2.
Your profile:
- You hold a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, e.g., biology, biochemistry, biomedicine.
- Highly motivated to fully commit to the project
- Exhibit a strong interest in immunology
- You are open to working with biological materials
- Thrive in a collaborative, team-oriented, and international research environment
The official language in the Institute is English. Nevertheless, mentoring can be done in German.
Application requirement:
- Cover letter detailing your background and motivation
- A concise CV (1 page)
- Copy of your Bachelor's degree certificate
- Copy of your high school certificate
