Master Thesis at Helmholtz

We are looking for motivated students to join our group for a master thesis. We are Helmholtz Munich. In a rapidly changing world, we discover breakthrough solutions for better health.

The Institute for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (iTERM) develops and implements tools to analyze biological samples' 3D structure and molecular identity. At iTERM, we bring together cutting-edge science from biology, chemistry, engineering, and computer applications. Our overarching aim is to obtain a holistic view of interconnected biological systems in health and disease. We develop clearing technologies for cellular-level imaging and deep learning algorithms (AI) to analyze large imaging and molecular data in a robust and unbiased way. Worldwide media, including New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Süddeutsche Zeitung, have highlighted our research. You can find out more about us at www.erturk-lab.com.

iTERM is growing rapidly, and to further strengthen the setup of our young institute, we are looking for highly motivated individuals. We care about diversity and welcome applications from any background.
