About the Lab
We focus on uncovering the early drivers of human neurodegenerative diseases with a strong translational emphasis. The lab extensively uses human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)–based models, differentiating hiPSCs into disease-relevant neuronal and glial cell types, organoids, and assembloids to study synaptic development, maintenance, and degeneration. Research integrates advanced imaging, multi-omics, functional assays, and patient-derived samples to dissect mechanisms underlying neuronal vulnerability and to identify targets for therapeutic intervention.
Postdoctoral Researcher
Your responsabilities: - Lead and contribute to cutting-edge research on neurodegeneration using hiPSC-based neuronal and organoid models - Further develop the lab’s “trauma-in-a-dish” model based on hiPSC-derived organoids - Apply and advance cell culture, microscopy, and multi-omics methodologies - Integrate functional assays (e.g. neuronal activity and imaging) with molecular analyses - Apply for internal and external research funding - Contribute to the supervision of students and the scientific life of the institute - Participate in teaching human anatomy to medical and dental students as part of the institute’s curriculum
Qualifications: - PhD in neuroscience, cell biology, molecular biology, or a related field - Strong experience in at least one of the following topics: hiPSC culture and differentiation, microscopy, and omics technologies - Excellent communication and teamwork skills
PhD Student
Your responsabilities: - Conduct a doctoral research project within the Catanese lab focused on human-relevant models of neurodegeneration. Main topic of the doctoral work will be the investigation of the pathomechanisms linked to novel, rare ALS variants - The main topic of the PhD project will be the investigation of pathomechanisms associated with novel, rare ALS variants - Use hiPSC-based models, microscopy, and omics approaches to study mechanisms of neuronal dysfunction - Analyze and interpret experimental data and present results at scientific meetings and conferences - Participate in a structured doctoral training environment with national and international collaborations
Qualifications: - Master’s degree (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline - Hands-on experience in cell culture, imaging, and omics preferred - High motivation for experimental research and scientific curiosity - Strong motivation for scientific research and academic growth
Why choose us?
We offer… - Employment according to the German public service pay scale (TV-L), commensurate with qualifications and experience - Secure contracts with transparent salary structures - A stimulating international research environment with modern infrastructure - Support for work–life balance and family-friendly policies - Access to continuing education and professional development programs - Benefits such as public transport subsidies, employee discounts, and institutional support services - Structured onboarding and integration support for international applicants
