Über uns
The Lab of Translational Microbiome Research, part of the Cluster of Excellence "Controlling Microbes to Fight Infections" (CMFI) at the University of Tübingen, investigates how gut microbes, pathogens, the immune system and environmental factors shape cancer development, therapy outcomes and susceptibility to infections. We are offering a research position in data science as part of a collaborative research project examining the role of the microbiome in cancer development and therapy.
