The primary objective of the
Institute of Diabetes and Regeneration Research (IDR) at the Helmholtz Diabetes Center, Helmholtz Munich, is to develop regenerative therapeutic approaches to treat diabetes mellitus – complementary and alternative to the classical immunological and metabolic therapy strategies.
We recently won an ERC Advanced Grant with the project "BetaRegeneration". The successful candidate will work on deciphering cellular and molecular mechanisms of beta cell protection and regeneration. Based on the previous identification and validation of known and novel therapeutic targets and combinatorial pharmacology, you will explore new avenues of targeted and combinatorial beta cell protection and regeneration.
To complete our scientific research team we are looking for a
