PhD position – EV homeostasis in health and disease – University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE)
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are secreted by most, if not all, cells. They consist of lipids, proteins, RNAs and other small molecules. EVs transfer information from one cell to another by fusing with the recipient cell and releasing proteins, RNA and other molecules. Since all EVs are generated with material from the secreting cell, analyzing their composition may provide insights into the molecular state of these cells.
The main goals of the PhD project are to analyse cellular mechanisms that mediate protein loading into extracellular vesicles, to study disruptions of EV biology in disease and to generate EV signatures of different cell types.
6 PhD Student positions to address challenges in biomedical image analysis (FH Salzburg)
Starting in 2025, REVELATION, a doctoral college in the biomedical and machine leaning sector offered by the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences (FH Salzburg) and the Paris Lodron University Salzburg (PLUS), will employ 6 excellent students to address challenges in biomedical image analysis in the areas of cellular diagnostics, infectious diseases and cellular communication using cutting-edge computer vision and deep learning techniques.
PhD Student position in infection and EV biology (m/f/d) at Rheinische Friedrich Wilhelms-University Bonn
The research focus of the “Cellular Virology” group is localized in interdisciplinary basic research. It covers the interface between virology, immunology, RNA biology and the new, highly innovative topic of extracellular vesicles. Using both classical and self-developed methods from all these fields, we explore diverse mechanisms which activate and inhibit innate immune signaling. These innate defense processes are evolutionary conserved pathways which restrict viral replication and spread. However, innate immunity itself must also be fine-tuned to cellular requirements to prevent damage to the organism by the antiviral mechanisms themselves. In the context of the advertised position, cellular regulatory mechanisms of innate immunity will be investigated.
Vairous positions at Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Nanovesicular Precision Medicine at Paris Lodron University Salzburg
Nanovesicles have sparked exponentially growing enthusiasm in the Biomedical Research sector since their function as fundamental cellular communication system promises entirely new strategies for therapeutic interventions and diagnostic readouts. Our new Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Nanovesicular Precision Medicine at Paris Lodron University Salzburg #LBI-NVPM has a mission of translating the beautiful biology of #ExtracellularVesicles and #RNA into medical reality by resolving the very biological questions and technological challenges which are major bottlenecks.
If you embrace the opportunity to work within a dynamic interdisciplinary team of scientists across chemistry, biotechnology, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology and in vivo pharmacology together with clinical and regulatory experts on a joint mission at the interface of basic research and academic teaching, clinical translation and pharmaceutical drug development, we welcome your application.
SECRET – Call for applications for 10 Doctoral (PhD) Training Positions in stem cell biology, paracrine signalling mechanisms, advanced delivery methods and pre-clinical models for regenerative medicine applications
SECRET is a Doctoral Network funded by the European Union Horizon Europe Programme.
