The Institut f眉r Zellbiochemie of the University Medical Centre 骋枚迟迟颈苍驳别苍 is looking for a new position for the earliest start date

PhD position (f/m/d)

part time, limited for 3 years
Remuneration according to TV-L

Mitochondria are essential cellular organelles that are pivotal for life. Their function critally relies on the maintenance of functional mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and failure to do so can cause devastating diseases including mitochondrial disorders, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and cardiac disorders as well as drive the aging process. Despite its importance, many aspects of maintaining mtDNA remain poorly understood. This project will employ advanced molecular biology techniques, genetic mouse models, biochemical assays, and computational approaches to uncover the mechanisms ensuring the maintenance of functional mtDNA in somatic tissues throughout a lifetime. Our group is located in the Department of Cellular Biochemistry at the University Medical Center 骋枚迟迟颈苍驳别苍. 骋枚迟迟颈苍驳别苍 is an international student city located in the center of Germany, where besides the University and University Medical Center a number of renowned institutes such as the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences are located, providing a stimulating collaborative environment.
