Our mission as research center: Discover personalized medical solutions for environmentally triggered diseases to promote a healthier society in a rapidly changing world.

The Helmholtz Pioneer Campus (HPC) founded and funded by Helmholtz Munich stands for the intelligent fusion of biomedical sciences, engineering and digitization. At HPC, top scientific talents from across the globe work together on the development of novel solutions that make a difference in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

The here advertised position serves a collobaration between Helmholtz Munich and the National Center of Tumor Diseases (NCT) Dresden. NCT is a joint institution of the German Cancer Research Center, the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden, the Faculty of Medicine at TU Dresden, and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR). The NCT with sites in Heidelberg and Dresden is beeing further expanded to an international center of excellence regarding point-of-care and individualized Cancer Medicine. Research in the Department of Functional Imaging in Surgical Oncology (FBOO), is focused on the development and application of novel imaging probes and imaging methods in the short-wave infrared spectral range (SWIR imaging) for biological and medical in-vivo applications (Prof. Oliver Bruns). Recent progress in SWIR concerns detection technologies and the development of new probes that will enable new capabilities in preclinical and clinical imaging.

Candidates interested in pursuing a PhD and/or a complementary Master’s degree in this position can be enrolled at TU Dresden.
