International Leibniz Research School for Microbial and Biomolecular Interactions (ILRS Jena) Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology - Hans Knöll Institute in Germany

A PhD position is available in Carmen Aguilar’s lab at the Institute of Molecular Infection Biology (IMIB), University of Würzburg, Germany, starting in March 2027. The project focuses on host–pathogen interactions during urinary tract infections. Researchers will use human bladder, prostate, and vaginal organoids together with single-cell RNA sequencing, microscopy, and functional genomics to investigate how pathogens interact with human tissues and to identify potential therapeutic strategies....

📣 A PhD student position is open at the Institute for Systemic Inflammation Research (ISEF), University of Lübeck and University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH), in Lübeck, Germany. The project focuses on immunology , immunometabolism , single-cell multi-omics , and mitochondrial DNA biology. The research will investigate how systemic metabolism, high-fat diet, and obesity influence mitochondrial DNA mutation accumulation and cellular metabolism during germinal center reactions and B-cell mem...
