Description of the internship
In collaboration with our partners in Tbilisi, Georgia, we have established a cohort of patients suffering from severe tuberculosis who underwent resection of infected lung material.
We aim to characterize the resected material histologically and through gene expression using advanced imaging technologies (multiplexed immunofluorescence, artificial intelligence-guided image analysis) to identify new disease biomarkers and pathways.
Required qualities and skills
- Great interest in the subject and strong motivation to learn molecular biology and immunohistological techniques
- Ideally, initial work experience in a natural sciences laboratory and openness to learning R programming
