Internship and Master's Thesis: Computational Biology for Allergy Research (f/m/x)
At Helmholtz Munich, we develop groundbreaking solutions for a healthier society in a rapidly changing world. We believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation. Through strong partnerships, we accelerate the transfer of new ideas from the lab to real-life applications, improving lives.
Our Group at the Institute of Allergy Research (IAF)/Center of Allergy and Environment (ZAUM) at Helmholtz Munich investigates the molecular mechanisms that regulate B cell-mediated immune responses. Our research focuses on understanding how B lymphocytes differentiate into effector B cells, including antibody-secreting cells and memory B cells, during homeostasis and in diseases such as autoimmunity, cancer, and allergy.
Allergic diseases, including asthma and food allergies, affect more than one billion people worldwide and represent a major global health burden. A hallmark of allergic immune responses is the production of immunoglobulin E (IgE), a key driver of disease pathogenesis. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that sustain IgE responses remain poorly understood.
Recent studies have identified type 2 memory B cells (MBC2s) and long-lived IgE-secreting plasma cells (IgE-PCs) as key cellular reservoirs of IgE. Despite their importance, the molecular pathways governing their development, maintenance, and function remain largely unknown.
