Neuherberg near Munich

Partial Home Office possible

At Helmholtz Munich, we develop groundbreaking solutions for a healthier society in a rapidly changing world. We believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation. Through strong partnerships, we accelerate the transfer of new ideas from the lab to real-life applications, improving lives.

At the our major goal is to accelerate biomedical research by developing and combining enabling technologies. Our major research fields are AI-based organ mapping, Tissue engineering and Precision medicine in cancer treatments. Sophisticated technologies such as 3D tissue imaging, molecular profiling are combined with AI tools to decode the complexity of tissues and shed light into cancer biology.

Our interdisciplinary team — comprising biologists, engineers, computer scientists, and medical researchers — develops next-generation computational models to interpret complex biomedical data across multiple scales. Our innovations in tissue clearing, 3D microscopy, and AI-driven pathology have been featured in leading journals (Nature Methods, Nature Neuroscience, Cell, Nature Biotechnology) and major media (The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Süddeutsche Zeitung).

We are offering an exciting Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis project for a motivated student (f/m/x) with a background in the life sciences. You will contribute to a research project focused on uncovering early, whole-body biological changes induced by smoking.

Your tasks

  • Whole-body immunolabeling and tissue clearing
  • 3D imaging and image analysis
  • Proteomics sample preparation
  • Cryosectioning and laser capture microdissection
  • Basic immunofluorescence staining

Your profile

  • Enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program in Biology, Biochemistry, Biomedical Sciences, or a related field
  • Prior lab experience in tissue handling and immunostaining
  • Structured, reliable, and independent work style
  • Team player with enthusiasm for interdisciplinary science

This position has a fixed term, depending on the requirements of your study program.
