The Faculty of Medicine is one of the four founding faculties of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. With its non-clinical facilities as well as its research and teaching area corresponding to the organisational units of the University Hospital, it is one of the largest medical training and research institutions in Baden-Württemberg.
The research group of Katrin Böttcher focusses on understanding mechanisms of immune cell dysfunction in cancer development, progression and resistance to immunotherapy with the main aim to advance therapies against hepatobiliary cancers and related hepatological conditions. We are located at the M3 Research Center at the University of Tübingen and are looking for PhD students who are enthusiastic about translational research and to understand ·
- how immune cell function is regulated by tissue microenvironments in health and disease
- how MAIT cell functionality is regulated by immune cell metabolism
- how to engineer MAIT cells to direct them against solid cancers
