Project description
At the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology IZI, we bring together the expertise of our employees to drive medical progress. Our focus is on cell and gene therapy, pharmaceuticals and vaccines, molecular and immune diagnostics, and other innovative topics. We are the professional home for scientists, engineers, laboratory technicians, and administrative staff who work together in the service of health. Are you looking for an opportunity to expand your theoretical knowledge with practical experience as part of a thesis? Then you've come to the right place! At Fraunhofer IZI, we regularly mentor committed talents who want to conduct cutting-edge research with us. Be part of change At our institute, our employees delve into exciting projects and develop individual products and services for our clients, primarily from the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. Research at the Fraunhofer IZI focuses on the fields of immuno-oncology and infectious disease pathology. Immuno-oncology offers an innovative approach to cancer therapy and complements traditional methods such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery. The immune system is specifically activated in order to effectively combat abnormal cells. Our researchers are working on the development of new immunotherapies that will expand the range of treatments in the future and give patients new hope. Together with our partners, we at the Fraunhofer IZI are driving forward the implementation of these pioneering approaches in clinical practice. Infectious diseases pose a constant challenge to global health - for humans and animals. To counteract these threats, we at Fraunhofer IZI are researching the mechanisms of disease transmission and development as well as innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Our infectious disease pathology team works closely with international partners to develop technologies for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. During your thesis, you will gain insights into the day-to-day work of a research institution and have the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge you have acquired during your studies in a practical setting. You will learn about our structures and processes in the scientific and technical business areas and be entrusted with a responsible institute-related topic. Use this springboard to launch your career in research and development and take an important step in your professional development. In your unsolicited application, you are welcome to specify a specialist area or topic that you are particularly interested in. You can find an overview of our business areas and departments here.
