It is also planned to transfer gene therapy approaches from preclinical research into clinical trials. For this purpose, we are embedded in a dense network of academic and industrial collaborations, which we intend to further expand. Another goal is to explore a completely new area of science that combines gene therapies and their effects on epigenetics.

- Isolation of murine oocytes and spermatozoa with subsequent epigenetic analysis
- Statistical and bioinformatic analysis of results
- Presentation of research results at international congresses

- Publications in international peer-reviewed journals
- Experience in the methods and techniques described under "Your Responsibilities" is an advantage
- High degree of independence, creativity and initiative
- Excellent organizational talent and team player skills
