The project will employ transgenic mouse models to visualize and genetically manipulate stromal cells and dendritic cells. By combining innovative single cell technologies (transcriptomics and flow cytometry), high-end multiparameter microscopy and functional analyses of dendritic cells in vitro and in vivo the project aims to elucidate how the interaction of stromal cells and dendritic cells shapes immunity. More information about our research interests you will find on the Schraml-lab website.
Your tasks and responsibilities:
- Exploring dendritic cell and stromal cell heterogeneity by high-dimensional flow cytometry and microscopy.
- Employing single cell transcriptomics, including computational analysis and data integration.
- Study the biological function of dendritic cells using in vitro and in vivo models.
