The Hospital of the University of Munich, Germany, is one of the largest and most competitive university hospitals in Germany and Europe. 49 specialized hospitals, departments and institutions harbouring excellent research and education provide patient care at the highest medical level with around 11.000 employees.
Scope of duties
The project will be carried out in the laboratory of Martin Dichgans (
www.isd-research.de/dichgans-lab) and is embedded in a Leducq-funded International Network of Excellence (start 1/2023). The
project centers on mechanisms linking mutations in risk genes for stroke and cerebrovascular disease (Nature 2022; Nat Genet 2022) to vascular pathology. Expanding on our analyses in other risk genes (e.g. Circ Res. 2020; Circulation 2019; Circulation 2021), a new mouse line with informative phenotype,
and novel experimental paradigms we aim to develop cell-type specific therapeutic approaches.
We are searching for an experienced postdoctoral researcher with background in vascular biology.
Functioning in a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary team, the postdoctoral researcher will investigate
the mechanism driving cerebral small vessel disease in a novel genetic mouse model with human relevance. You will use a broad range of methods with ample expert support on cutting edge technologies including scRNAseq and spatial transcriptomics, mass-spectrometry-based proteomics, clearing and light-sheet microscopy (
