Internship position at Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research (NIBR)

Description:
The Oncology Department of the Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research in Basel, Switzerland, is recurrently looking for an intern in the field of molecular and cellular biology. The position is available for 6 months starting from April / May 2022 to work on different aspects of cancer biology.
You will be involved in cutting-edge research using the latest technologies in genetic manipulation, genetic screens and (epi-) genome profiling.
You will join an enthusiastic team working on transcriptional regulation to dissect the molecular functions of a number of candidate oncogenes and in diverse cancer settings.

Your tasks will be:

  • Design, execute and/or analyze experimental work with the supervision of
    different team members
  • Contribute to lab / team organization and projects development
  • Formulate and test additional hypothesis based on a large amount of internal data in different fields

BA / SA / MA: Potentialkontrollierte Membranchromatographie – Setup Design

Kurzbeschreibung:
Entwicklung eines neuen Setups für die Potentialkontrollierte Membranchromatographie.
Aufgaben: Entwicklung eines Membranmoduls, Simulation der Strömungseigenschaften, Inbetriebnahme an einer präparativen Chromatographieanlage
Anforderungen: Kreativität und handwerkliches Geschick, Spaß an angewandter Forschung, Von Vorteil: Erste Kenntnisse in CAD und Comsol

Beschreibung:
Ziel dieses Forschungsprojektes ist die Entwicklung eines neuartigen Chromatographieprozesses unter Einsatz von leitfähigen Membranen. Diese können in ihrer Ladung und folglich ihrem Bindecharakter beeinflusst werden und ermöglichen somit eine potentialkontrollierte Elution des Zielmoleküls. Dadurch kann die Biomolekülaufreinigung nicht nur effizienter und kostengünstiger sondern auch nachhaltiger erfolgen.
In dieser Abschlussarbeit soll ein neues Membranmodul für den Einsatz an einer präparativen Chromatographieanlage mittels CAD entworfen werden. Die Strömungseigenschaften des Moduls spielen hierbei eine entscheidende Rolle und sollen anschließend simulativ untersucht werden. In einem weiteren Schritt soll das entwickelte Modul an einer präparativen Chromatographieanlage in Betrieb genommen und auf seine Eignung untersucht werden.

Carbon capture & storage: analysis and characterization of biochar production pathways

Short description:
At the Laboratory of Chemical Process Engineering, a new project about carbon capture and storage has recently started. The overall aim of the project is to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere by developing a suitable long-term carbon storage in Bavaria. There are various carbon sources, such as CO2 from air, minerals, organic waste, crops, algae and further sorts of biomass. All of them are carbon-containing resources and, therefore, must be considered as possible feedstock for carbon storage. To achieve a higher carbon content and higher density of these compounds, processes are sought to convert them to long-term carbon storage materials.
Within the scope of this project, biochar as a feasible storage material should be analyzed. Special interest applies to the characterization of different production pathways concerning yield, energy and water consumption and required temperatures for each production pathway. For more details, contact the supervisor.

Description: Good knowledge of German or English language is required, as well as interest in carbon capture and storage techniques. Priorknowledge in any of the following topics is appreciated but not required: LCA, process engineering, reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and physical chemistry. Good support and training will be provided.

Immunological diabetes research

Short description:
1. Targeting RORγt/DHODH signaling in islet autoimmunity and Type 1 Diabetes
 2. The role of T cell-specific IL6Rα signaling in maintaining tissue immune homeostasis

Description:
1. We investigate the influence of RORγt/DHODH inhibition on Tregs and different T cell subsets in islet autoimmunity and T1D. Using various in vitro approaches and loss-of-function or T1D mouse models, we dissect the impact on Treg induction and the underlying mechanisms. In collaboration with a biopharmaceutical company, we apply drug candidates targeting these signaling pathways in vivo to different mouse models for T1D to study their effect on autoimmune activation and diabetes progression or prevention.
2. We investigate the crucial role of the high-affinity α-chain of the interleukin 6 receptor (IL6Rα) on CD4+T cells and Foxp3+ Tregs. Using different gain- and loss-of-function mouse models, we dissect the role of the IL6Rα and its complex interplay with other signaling molecules in maintaining Tregs. By that, we investigate how the IL6Rα on T cells contributes to maintaining tissue homeostasis, preventing aberrant immune activation and mediating cross-talk between tissues and immune cells which is important for the function of diabetes-relevant tissues.
