The German Cancer Research Center is the largest biomedical research institution in Germany. With more than 3,000 employees, we operate an extensive scientific program in the field of cancer research.
The Helmholtz Institute HI-TRON is a collaboration of the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) with the Research Institute for Translational Oncology at the University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (TRON gGmbH), the University Medical Center Mainz and the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. The goal of the partnership is to develop effective immunotherapies and to identify novel biomarkers for assessing the effectiveness of treatment.
For the High-throughput Immunopeptidomics Platform at HI-TRON Mainz, we are seeking a postdoctoral scientist to join the team as soon as possible.
The platform aims to identify cancer-specific immunopeptides (MHC-ligands), antigens that can trigger the immune response and potential targets for immunotherapy. To achieve this, we develop and implement LC-MS-based workflows to scrutinize the immunopeptidome in clinical, preclinical, and in vitro studies. Headed by Dr. David Gomez-Zepeda, the platform was founded in June 2023 to provide scientists with cutting-edge LC-MS immunopeptidomics infrastructure and expertise. We are associated with the lab of Prof. Dr. Stefan Tenzer, forming a team of international and multi-disciplinary scientists in an innovation-driven environment
