Universitätsklinikum Heidelberg

Heidelberg

wanted for the next possible date in the research group of Dr. Michael Hoetker.

The Hoetker lab at the University Hospital Heidelberg focuses on the corruption of cellular identity in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We aim to decode epigenetic principles of disease, in particular targeting enhancers and other regulatory elements. The final aim of our studies is to translate the experimental findings into novel treatment strategies for patients at diagnosis and relapse.

The Department of Internal Medicine V of Heidelberg University Hospital is a leading center for research in Hematology and Oncology and provides numerous training opportunities with access to cutting-edge techniques. The location of Heidelberg offers state-of-the-art infrastructure in a highly collaborative environment (NCT, DKFZ and EMBL Heidelberg).
