University of Freiburg PhD Student 2025

The Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Department of Molecular Embryology of the Albert-Ludwigs-University is looking for the research group of Prof Dr Christian Schachtrup to start on September 1st, 2025 a

PhD Student (m/f/d)

It has shown that the interface between brain, vasculature and immune system is a dynamic player in brain diseases. Our research focuses on the

complex interplay between the altered cellular environment after a vascular injury of the brain and the activation of immune cells and scar forming cells in order to understand the mechanisms that hinder neurorepair in mouse model of stroke and trauma. Furthermore, we are modeling the brain-vascular-immune interface in human organoids to develop therapies for promoting neurorepair.

To ensure that we fulfill our high standards on a daily basis, we look forward to your scientific expertise - preferably with you!
