The Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology IZI researches and develops special problem solutions at the interface of medicine, biosciences and engineering. One of its main tasks is contract research for biotechnological, pharmaceutical and medical technology companies, clinics, diagnostic laboratories and research institutions.

Are you looking for an opportunity to expand your theoretical knowledge with practical experience as part of your dissertation? Then you've come to the right place! At Fraunhofer IZI, we regularly supervise committed talents who want to conduct cutting-edge research with us.

At our institute, our employees conduct research on exciting projects and develop individual products and services for our clients, primarily from the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. Research at the Fraunhofer IZI focuses on the fields of Immuno-Oncology and Infectious Disease Pathology.

For a few years now, immuno-oncology has complemented the traditional methods of cancer therapy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery. Here, medicine utilizes the natural function of the immune system to eliminate foreign and malignant cells using a variety of mechanisms. The Fraunhofer IZI supports partners in the development and translation of innovative immunotherapies with its Immuno-Oncology research unit.

Infectious diseases continue to pose a global threat to human and animal health. Understanding the spread, pathogenesis and diagnostic options is essential for effectively combating them. The Fraunhofer IZI's Infectious Disease Pathology research unit supports partners in the development and translation of technologies for researching, diagnosing, preventing and treating infectious diseases.

During your dissertation, you will gain exciting insights into the everyday life of a research institution and can apply theoretical knowledge from your studies in a practical way. You will get to know our structures and processes in the scientific-technical and commercial business areas and can actively contribute and implement your ideas with a great deal of creative freedom. Use this springboard to launch your career in the research and development environment and take an important step in your professional development.
