We are UKM . We have a clear social mission and, with our focus on healthcare, research, and teaching, we bear a unique responsibility.

To meet our high standards every day, we are looking forward to your scientific support at the Clinic for Radiology!

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our interdisciplinary research team working on multimodal imaging of inflammation and cancer using shape- and size-tunable self assemblies (aza-BODIPYI) as contrast agents. This project is part of the Collaborative Research Centre 1450 “Insight – Multiscale imaging of organ-specific inflammation” and aims to develop and apply advanced imaging tools to study immune cell dynamics in murine models of inflammation and cancer.

More about our work:

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Performing multimodal and multiscale in vitro and in vivo imaging (FRI, PAI/MSOT, MRI) of immune cell behavior using novel nanostructured contrast agents
• Labeling and tracking immune cells in cell culture and murine models of inflammation and cancer
• Conducting histological analysis for validation and correlation of imaging results
• Analyzing imaging data and contributing to the interpretation of immune-related processes
• Participating in the CRC 1450 graduate school and presenting research findings at internal meetings and international conferences

REQUIREMENTS:

• A Master’s degree in Biology, Biomedical Imaging, Biochemistry, Physics, or a related field
• A strong interest in biomedical imaging, contrast agent development, immune cell tracking, and data analysis
• Previous experience with imaging techniques or in vivo experimental models is beneficial
• High motivation for scientific work and willingness to contribute to an interdisciplinary team
• Good English communication skills (spoken and written); German skills are advantageous
