Chronic inflammatory skin diseases (CISD) are prevalent in the population and do not only reduce quality of life of affected patients, but also challenge modern health care systems due to high treatment costs. Our lab is interested in revising the ancient classification of CISD by using molecular deciphering of skin inflammation and by identifying new biomarkers and therapeutic targets for more efficient treatments. A further interest is to study mechanisms of disease chronification. We are looking for a highly motivated PostDoc (m/f/d) that enjoys working in a translational research environment and in multidisciplinary consortia.
