Fixed term of 3 years | Part-time with 65% (25 hours/week) | Salary according to TV-L E13 | Clinic for Radiology - Experimental Magnetic Resonance Group | Job ID: 11471
We are UKM. We have a clear social mission and, with our focus on healthcare, research, and teaching, we bear a unique responsibility.
To meet our high standards every day, we are looking forward to your scientific support at the Clinic for Radiology. As one of Germany&#039;s leading university radiology departments, we provide all outpatients and inpatients at UKM with state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging and image-guided therapy - ideally with you on board!
RESEARCH PROJECT: 
 We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our interdisciplinary research team to develop a novel biophysical modeling approach based on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging to comprehensively characterize the tumor microenvironment (TME). Tasks will involve the development of improved biophysical models and corresponding MRI data acquisition protocols to characterize both cellular and vascular properties of the TME. The approach will be validated using a combination of in silico models, computer simulations, and in vitro experiments using tumor spheroids grown in perfusable bioreactors, as well as in vivo studies using a murine colorectal carcinoma model. By enabling the examination of the TME within a single scan session, this new method aims to improve cancer staging and therapy monitoring and ultimately enable more personalized treatment plans for patients.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Developing, validating, and applying biophysical models of the tumor microenvironment, based on diffusion MRI data 
Implementing MR sequences on a preclinical MRI scanner 
Collecting and analyzing MRI data and performing biophysical modelling 
Collaborating with the partner institution that provides the bioreactors 
Participating in a local graduate school and presenting research findings at internal meetings and international conferences
REQUIREMENTS:
Master’s degree in Physics, Biomedical Imaging, or a related field 
Strong interest in magnetic resonance, biomedical imaging and biophysical modelling 
Programming skills (C++, Matlab, Python) 
Willingness to perform animal experiments (FELASA qualification is beneficial) 
Previous experience with diffusion MRI, biophysical modelling, and tumor models is beneficial 
High motivation for scientific work and willingness to contribute to an interdisciplinary team 
Good English communication skills (spoken and written); German skills are advantageous
WE OFFER:
Salary according to tariff agreement, extra annual payment, and company pension plan (VBL)

Damit wir unserem hohen Anspruch tagtäglich gerecht werden, freuen wir uns auf Deine wissenschaftliche Expertise - am besten mit Dir!
FORSCHUNGSPROJEKT: 
 In der Leberzirrhose führen portale Hypertension und systemische Entzündungen zu Komplikationen und Dekompensation mit hoher Sterblichkeit. Man geht davon aus, dass bakterielle Infektionen und Translokation aufgrund der gestörten Darmbarriere systemische Entzündungsreaktionen auslösen, die zu akuter Dekompensation und akut-auf-chronischem Leberversagen (ACLF) führen. Trotz zunehmender Forschung ist nach wie vor unbekannt, durch welche Mechanismen die Darm-Leber-Achse die Dekompensation der Leberzirrhose beeinflusst. 
 Durch die Integration von Metabolomdaten aus der Pfortader und der Lebervene mit den entsprechenden zirkulierenden 16S-rRNA-Amplikonprofilen aus Buffy-Coat und Stuhl von TIPS-Patient*innen konnten zwei Metaboliten identifiziert werden, die den Einfluss der Darm-Leber-Achse bei der Dekompensation der Leberzirrhose erklären und sich für therapeutische Ansätze eignen. 
 Ziel der Studie ist es, spezifische Spezies des Darmmikrobioms zu identifizieren, die an der Veränderung von Metaboliten beteiligt sind. Diese Erkenntnisse werden neue Einsichten darüber liefern, wie diese möglicherweise aus dem Darmmikrobiom stammenden oder verstoffwechselten Metaboliten zur Dekompensation bei Patient*innen mit Leberzirrhose beitragen. Darüber hinaus wollen wir neue therapeutische Optionen zur Verhinderung der Dekompensation der Leberzirrhose testen, indem wir gezielt auf bestimmte Spezies des Darmmikrobioms einwirken, die an der Synthese und/oder Modifikation dieser Metaboliten beteiligt sind, um eine weitere Dekompensation durch Beeinflussung der Darm-Leber-Achse zu verhindern.
