Working at Charité
The Peiseler Lab at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin is looking for a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join our interdisciplinary team of immunologists, clinician scientists and bioinformatics focused on liver immunology in chronic liver diseases. We have a keen interest in liver myeloid cells and leverage cutting-edge intravital microscopy to investigate liver immune cell behavior to uncover mechanisms of liver disease.
This position is part of the DFG-funded Transregio Collaborative Research Center CRC/TR 412, seeking to address the pathogenic mechanisms in Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and brings together expertise from Charité Berlin, TU Dresden, MPI CBG Dresden, and the M3 Research Institute Tübingen. The successful candidate will work at Charité under joint supervision by Moritz Peiseler (Charité) and Robert Schwabe (Columbia University, New York). The project will investigate the reciprocal crosstalk of liver macrophages and hepatic stellate cells in the progression and regression of MASLD and fibrosis, utilizing novel mouse models, intravital multiphoton microscopy, and multi-omics technologies (single-cell and spatial transcriptomics).
