PhD Student in iPSC Disease Modeling and CRISPR Gene Therapies | Pharmacist (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This interdisciplinary role within the Department of Cardiology and Pneumology at the University Medical Center Göttingen focuses on advancing precision medicine through patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models. As a PhD student, you will be responsible for developing 2D and cardiac organoid models to study cardiovascular diseases, utilizing CRISPR/Cas9 for genetic modifications, and producing AAV vectors for preclinical testing. You will apply high-throughput screening methods and imaging-based analysis to identify novel therapeutic strategies for heart failure. This position is ideal for researchers passionate about the intersection of basic science and translational medicine. The role offers access to state-of-the-art infrastructure, a vibrant international research environment, and structured career support including mentoring and grant writing. Working 25 hours per week under the TV-L remuneration scheme, you will collaborate closely with clinical groups and national research consortia to translate genomic insights into personalized therapeutics.
