Multiple PhD positions available at the Institute for Ophthalmic Research in Tübingen
University Clinic Tübingen, Institute for Ophthalmic Research
The candidates will be part of the MSCA Doctoral Network PANDORA on discovering Pathomechanisms and Novel Drug Optimization for AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration).
We are seeking highly motivated and intellectually curious PhD students to work on AMD, the most common cause of blindness in the elderly population. The projects aim to dissect AMD profiles depending on genetic variants, stressors and drug response. The results will help to design diagnostic paradigms and therapeutic approaches. The PhD candidates will benefit from a network of European experts in different fields (gene therapy, pharmacology, bioinformatics, disease modeling, imaging) and will have the possibility to visit other labs in secondments (lab exchanges).
