Job Summary

This Postdoctoral Researcher position focuses on developing advanced organoid models for inflammatory bowel diseases, a collaborative effort between Fraunhofer, Goethe University, and Sanofi in Frankfurt am Main. The role involves innovating complex co-culture systems of patient-derived organoids and autologous immune cells to mimic human intestinal inflammation, establishing a novel platform for preclinical drug evaluation.
