Master Thesis Position
“Unraveling mechanisms of CD8+ T cell-mediated allogenicity in the liver”
About us:
Join the AG Bošnjak within the Institute of Immunology at Hannover Medical School, home of dynamic research and equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. We invite you to become a part of our team and contribute to an exciting and highly relevant research project conducted in collaboration with the Department of General, Visceral and Transplant Surgery. Our experienced team offers comprehensive support to ensure the successful completion of your project and holds years of expertise in a variety of involved methods, which include
- Cell culture
- Spectral flow cytometry
- CRISPR/Cas9-induced gene editing
Your role:
As a Master’s thesis candidate, you will learn how to isolate, characterize, and expand human CD8 T cells. Using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, you will generate reporter CD8 T cells, which will then be used in ex vivo co-culture experiments with primary liver cells and liver cell lines to investigate the mechanisms underlying CD8 T cell-mediated allogenicity.
Your profile:
- You hold a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, e.g., biology, biochemistry, biomedicine.
- You are highly motivated and willing to fully commit to the project
- You exhibit a strong interest in immunology
- You are open to working with biological materials
We offer:
- A collaborative, team-oriented, and international research environment
- Highly relevant scientific project with preliminary data
- Mentoring in German or English
Application requirement:
- Cover letter detailing your background and motivation
- A concise CV (1-2 pages)
- Copy of your Bachelor's degree certificate
- Copy of your high school certificate
Feel free to submit your application at any time via email to
