- Pediatric Glioma Research
„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 Divison of Pediatric Glioma Research is seeking for the next possible date a
Our division characterizes and models rare pediatric brain tumor entities, primarily pediatric gliomas. We use the latest techniques, such as next-generation sequencing and other omics methods, to study tumor biology in detail. Furthermore, we are working on the application of personalized medicine. Depending on the individual tumor, precise diagnostic procedures allow us to identify and treat possible therapeutic targets. Another important function of the group is to bridge the gap between basic biology and clinical application. This is an area that we now want to strengthen.
We are seeking an enthusiastic, well-organized technical assistant with an interest in preclinical basic research, an aptitude for teamwork, and a willingness to take on responsibility. The successful candidate will work in an international team together with technical staff, postdocs, and doctoral students.
