Description

Our Research Unit is supported by the Emmy-Noether Excellence Program ofthe German National Science Foundation and affiliated with the Instituteof Clinical Neuroimmunology of the Ludwig-Maximilians University Munichand the Dept. of Neuroimmunology of the Max-Planck-Institute of Neurobiology.

Our main focus is to develop new therapeutic strategies for multiplesclerosis a common neurological disease. In multiple sclerosis immunecells attack brain and spinal cord and damage nerve cells, theirconnections and the myelin sheets that isolate them. Our recent studiesindicate that a particular immune cell type, the macrophage, isprimarily responsible for tissue damage. However, while macrophagesmediate tissue damage in multiple sclerosis, they can in principle alsocontribute to CNS protection and repair (Kerschensteiner et al., 2003).This indicates that depending on the disease context macrophages can bepolarized towards distinct “destructive” or “protective” phenotypes. Theaim of this post-doctoral project is now to use a combination of in vivoimaging and ex vivo gene expression profiling to determine theregulatory factors that drive macrophages towards destruction or protection.

We are looking for hard-working, highly motivated applicants who arefluent in english and have a degree in a relevant field of study(biology, biochemistry, medicine). The start date for this position isnegotiable, but we aim for the fall of 2008. Funding for this project issecured through a grant by the German National Science Foundation.
