The mission of the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) is medical translation: transferring biomedical research findings into novel approaches to personalized prediction, prevention, diagnostics and therapies and, conversely, using clinical observations to develop new research ideas. The aim is to deliver relevant medical benefits to patients and the population at large. Since 2021 the BIH has been integrated into Charité as its so-called third pillar.   For the team of Sophie van Linthout in the Health Center for Regenerative Theraies (BCRT) starting from the earliest possible date until October, 31 2027 we are looking for a   PhD Student (d/f/m) in Immunology part-time (min. 25,35h/week).   RG Van Linthout is embedded in the Berlin Institute of Health Center for Regenerative Therapies (BCRT), a translational, interdisciplinary center with the mission of understanding common principles of regeneration in disease to develop, apply and refine advanced therapies to cure patients. The RG Van Linthout focuses on the contribution of extracardiac and cardiac inflammation in the pathogenesis of heart failure with main emphasis on S100A8/9 alarmins and the inflammasome, and the contribution of fibroblasts as inflammatory supporter cells.
