Dermal Oncoimmunology

Research for a life without cancer" is our mission at the German Cancer Research Center. We investigate how cancer develops, identify cancer risk factors and look for new cancer prevention strategies. We develop new methods with which tumors can be diagnosed more precisely and cancer patients can be treated more successfully. Every contribution counts – whether in research, administration or infrastructure. This is what makes our daily work so meaningful and exciting.

The German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) is the largest biomedical research center in Germany. With more than 3,000 employees, we run an extensive scientific program in the field of cancer research.

In the new Helmholtz Institute for Translational Oncology (HI-TRON) Mainz, the DKFZ cooperates with the Research Institute for Translational Oncology at the University Medical Center of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (TRON gGmbH), the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the University Medical Center Mainz. The aim of this partnership is to develop pioneering immunotherapies at HI-TRON and to identify new biomarkers for the effectiveness of the treatment.

For the Dermal Oncoimmunology Lab in Mainz we are seeking for as soon as possible a

The Dermal Oncoimmunology Lab (headed by Dr. Hafsa Munir) places fibroblasts at the centre of the immune-regulatory networks in cancer and autoimmunity. We aim to alter the state of fibroblasts in skin cancer towards an autoimmune-like state to induce robust anti-tumour immunity as a novel therapeutic strategy to treat cancer. We are using a combination of single cell proteomic (spectral flow cytometry and immunofluorescence) and genomic (RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics) to analyse the state of fibroblast-immune interactions in these disease contexts in primary patient samples and mouse models. We aim to utilise mouse models and complex 3D bioengineered organ-on-chips to analyse the effects of fibroblast manipulation on anti-tumour immunity.
