PhD candidate opportunity in Molecular Biology, Cancer Biology, Immunology, and related biomedical fields at the Leibniz Institute for Analytical Sciences (ISAS) in Germany.
The project is part of the DFG-funded CRC 1752 “DYNAMO: Immediate Tumor Dynamics in Melanoma Therapy” and focuses on understanding the role of neutrophils in the early development of therapy resistance in human melanoma. The work is carried out in collaboration with University Hospital Essen and the University of Duisburg-Essen.
