Humans continually interact with the airborne environment via the respiratory system that encompasses the nasal, oral, lower airways and the alveolar system. This project will study the cellular components, tissue niche proteomes and secreted fluid proteomes at the inhalation interface in the early years of life and use multi-omics data to create a representative pediatric atlas as part of the pediatric network for the Human Cell Atlas funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate (f/m/x) in Life Sciences/Immunology to join the Schiller lab (Pubmed: Schiller HB http://bit.ly/3aCbp3l) at the Institute of Lung Health and Immunity (LHI)/ Comprehensive Pneumology Center.

The doctoral researcher (f/m/x) will work closely with the Principal Investigator and clinical collaborators and will be co-supervised by a senior scientist at LHI who is expert in immunology and (single-cell) data analysis. The PhD project involves both wet lab and dry lab work.
