About us

The University Hospital of Tübingen is a leading center of German university medicine. Every year, around 75,000 inpatients and around 380,000 outpatients are treated. With over 11,000 employees, it is the largest employer in the region. The quality of patient care is certified with the KTQ seal of approval.

About the research group

The research group, led by dermatologist Prof. Dr. Claudia Günther, investigates how innate immunity initiates autoimmune diseases, with a particular focus on autoinflammatory and autoimmune processes driven by chronically elevated type I interferon responses.

The PhD project is embedded in the Research Unit FOR 6059, “LUCID – Defining the Immunopathology of Cutaneous Lupus,” a consortium of seven German research institutions. The projects focus on the spatial and functional characterization of monocytes and on the activation and localization of inflammasomes in the skin of patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus. The successful candidates will be expected to collaborate closely with the teams within the LUCID consortium.
