PhD Position: Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles in Colorectal Cancer
The Günther Lab for Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology is seeking a motivated PhD researcher to investigate how microbiota-derived extracellular vesicles contribute to colorectal cancer initiation and progression. Our research focuses on understanding how bacterial vesicles mediate microbe–host communication and influence epithelial transformation, immune responses, and tumor microenvironment remodeling.
The project combines advanced patient-derived organoid culture systems, bacterial culture and extracellular vesicles, molecular and imaging-based assays, and multi-omics data analysis. You will work in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment at the interface of microbiome research, cancer biology, and immunology.
The position is part of a DFG-funded translational research initiative TRR417 aimed at identifying novel diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for colorectal cancer.
