Junior Group Leader in Skin Cancer Immunology

The MSNZ Frankfurt-Marburg and the Department of Dermatology (Prof. Bastian Schilling) aim to strengthen their research activities in the field of translational skin cancer research. Integrated into the Department of Dermatology and the translational cancer research program of the Frankfurt Cancer Institute (FCI; http://fci.health), the German Cancer Consortium (DKTK) and UCT Frankfurt-Marburg (www.uct-frankfurt-marburg.de), the junior group will focus on the areas of tumor immunology and immunotherapy in malignancies of the skin. Numerous omics technologies and preclinical models are available to support the junior group and can be included in the research proposal. Further support is provided by the technological platforms and staff scientists of the FCI (drug screening, organoids, animal models, immunomonitoring), as well as the expertise of the UCT Biobank for patient samples and annotated clinical
