Characterization of radiotracers for tumor imaging (Id 360)

No current offer!

Within the framework of various research projects of the Department of Radiopharmaceutical and Chemical Biology, novel radiotracers, labeled for example with the imaging radionuclides fluorine-18, iodine-123 or copper-64, will be evaluated preclinically in vitro and in vivo. In addition, novel cell models (2D, 3D) will be established to be biochemically and biologically characterized. Depending on the prerequisite (field of study) and main interest, a variety of chemical, radiochemical, biochemical, molecular and cell biological as well as radiopharmacological methods and techniques can be learned and applied. While working scientifically on your topic, you will also acquire transferable key skills such as scientific writing, presentation skills, critical thinking and project planning
