„Forschen für ein Leben ohne Krebs“ – das ist unsere Aufgabe am Deutschen Krebsforschungszentrum. Wir erforschen, wie Krebs entsteht, erfassen Krebsrisikofaktoren und suchen nach neuen Strategien, die verhindern, dass Menschen an Krebs erkranken. Wir entwickeln neue Methoden, mit denen Tumore präziser diagnostiziert und Krebspatient:innen erfolgreicher behandelt werden können. Jeder Beitrag zählt – ob in der Forschung, in der Administration oder der Infrastruktur. Das macht unsere tägliche Arbeit so bedeutungsvoll und spannend.

The DKFZ-Hector Cancer Institute was established as a partnership between the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the University Hospital Mannheim and the Medical Faculty Mannheim of Heidelberg University with generous support from the Hector Foundation II.
The Division of Personalized Medical Oncology focusses on the identification of novel cancer-promoting mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment, tackling of therapy resistance and on functional characterization of atypical mutations in major cancer-driving oncogenes. Based on these functional insights we derive novel targets for therapeutic intervention. We translate our research findings into the clinic in the Translational Clinical Trial Unit of the DKFZ-Hector Cancer Institute at the University Medical Center Mannheim. We are offering an interesting and challenging field of work as well as an excellent work environment in a dynamic and multinational team, which works closely with national as well as international collaboration partners in academics as well as pharmaceutical companies. The work location is Heidelberg.
Ihre Aufgaben:
The postdoc will be working on the reciprocal interaction of the brain with the tumor microenvironment and the immune system in NSCLC. The project comprises state-of-the-art preclinical models for detection and modulation of neuronal activity in combination with genetically-engineered NSCLC mouse models and anti-cancer immune therapies. In addition, patient samples and primary cell cultures will be obtained as well as innovative single cell technologies performed.
