The Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine Institute of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) is looking for undergraduate students from faculties of Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Biology or Pharmacology for research projects on human blood diseases. The Institute focuses on human diseases affecting haemostasis, amongst which thrombosis remains an unresolved medical challenge and the main cause of death in Europe.

The main interest of the laboratory is the dysregulation of haemostasis in human conditions such as diabetes, obesity and cancer. We are particularly interested in the role of oxidative stress in the alteration of blood platelet and leukocyte responses leading to thrombosis. The projects proposed here will focus on the effect of oxidative stress on haemostatic (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33267663/) and inflammatory (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29191910/) responses.
We offer 6-12 month laboratory experiences aligned with existing research projects supervised by senior members of staff. On these projects, the students will learn key research techniques, such as blood cell isolation, cell culture, immunochemistry, flow cytometry and live cell imaging. Students will access cutting-edge research facilities at UKE, such as the DFG-supported Bioimaging Center (UMIT), Flow Cytometry Core Facility and Proteomics Laboratory.
Previous laboratory experience is not required, but an understanding of cell biology/signal transduction and an interest in haematology will be highly advantageous. To register your interest or to obtain further information on the projects, please contact Dr. Giordano Pula: g.pula@uke.de
