We are looking for a PhD student (m/f/d) to join the Hutter group. This position offers a unique opportunity to participate in research in a multidisciplinary center for pediatric oncology and have a direct impact on the development of new cancer therapies.

Our group (https://science.ccri.at/research/research-areas/langerhans-cell-histiocytosis-lch/lch-biology/) strives to improve the outcome of patients with histiocytoses, a group of diseases located at the interface between cancer and immunology. We are combining cutting edge technologies (single-cell RNA-sequencing, genotyping of single cell transcriptomes, iPSCs) with in-vitro drug-testing assays and the analyses of clinical data of patients in order to understand how LCH develops and responds to therapy.

Relevant publications: Halbritter et al. Cancer Discovery 2019; Schwentner et al., J Leukocyte Biol. 2019; Kolenová et al., Blood Advances. 2017
