Ph.D. Thesis: Whole mouse body clearing and imaging techniques applied to Infectious disease and cancer metastasis (f/m/x)

At iTERM, we bring together cutting-edge science from biology, chemistry, engineering and computer applications. Our overarching aim is to obtain a holistic view of interconnected biological systems in health and disease. We develop clearing technologies for cellular level imaging and deep learning algorithms to analyze large imaging and molecular data in a robust and unbiased way. The lab is moving forward to use the data for biofabrication purposes. Our research also has been highlighted by worldwide media including New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Süddeutsche Zeitung.

What your tasks include

We are seeking a highly motivated student with a background in biomedical sciences. Your primary responsibility will involve harnessing our expertise in whole-body optical tissue clearing, light sheet microscopy imaging, advanced mass spectrometry tools powered with AI, and hands-on experience in animal experimentation.
