PhD Student (m/f/d) Microbiome Research in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases

Job description

Institute of Clinical Molecular Biology The Institute of Clinical Molecular Biology is focused on the understanding of the pathophysiology of chronic inflammatory disease, namely inflammatory bowel disease and has contributed in the recent to the molecular understanding how IBD risk genes transform into chronic intestinal inflammation in human. The Institute is one of the core research centres in various national and international research alliances (e.g. DFG ExC, IMI2 3TR and ImmUniverse). The successful candidate will be working on projects focusing on the role of the gut microbiome in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the integration of multi-omics datasets to uncover mechanisms underlying disease progression and therapy response. The candidate will primarily work with multilayered OMICs datasets. The main aim is to understand how microbial communities and their functional potential shape immune regulation and impact therapeutic outcomes.
