Our group is using and developing methods of statistical physics to address exciting problems in biology and medicine. We are a part of the newly established, interdisciplinary “Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin” in Erlangen. 

We are currently looking for three new group members to fill open positions working on neuronal development, the biophysics of helminth-host interactions and a novel mechanism of autoinflammation and autoimmunity. For more details, see the PDF of this announcement here here or our Join us page.
