Tietoja työnantajasta

Scientists and physicians of the Innsbruck campus, working in the related fields of Infection, Immunity,Transplantation and/or Biogerontology, have decided to join forces and have created a structured and multidisciplinary research and training programme of excellence (DK). Their intention is to cooperatively and synergistically investigate genetic and environmental parameters, which destroy the immune homeostasis during host-pathogen interaction, thus leading to opportunistic infections, seldom developing in healthy, but quite often in immuno-compromised subjects. Six of the 7 members of the consortium work at Medical University Innsbruck (MUI), and one is heading the Institute of Biomedical Aging Research (IBA), now part of University of Innsbruck / Leopold Franzens University (LFU). It is envisaged to strengthen the cooperation between both local universities in the coming periods. Five members of the consortium are medical doctors - one works at bedside and four mainly preclinically - two are natural scientists. All 7 contribute to various aspects of hostpathogen interaction, comprising inherited and acquired immunity. On the infection side fungal, bacteriological or virological models are in use.

All Faculty members already collaborate scientifically and have highly complementary portfolios of technical skills and practical experiences, cooperate with prominent international partners and will provide important core facilities to the members of the consortium. The consortium has already improved academic environment and infrastructure by establishing an introducing obligatory Ring lecture for all their students. Furthermore, the Comprehensive Center of Infection, Immunity and Transplantation (CIIT), established 2010, has been shown to promote and optimize interdisciplinary collaboration in science and clinical practice.

Horos is carried out by scientists and physicians working in clinical departments or “preclinical” research institutes of both universities, thus providing an important translational link between basic research and clinical application. MUI is very interested to have a broad and excellent DK on “Infection, Immunity & Transplantation”, one of its major officially stated research topics. A strong liaison with industrial partners has been established for supplementary funding. HOROS fosters even closer collaborations between research groups and the strategic added values lie in an attractive educational curriculum, more coherent and practical than previously. HOROS provides perfect means to finance research stays of PhD students in collaborators’ laboratories, a “HOROS annual retreat“, and the possibility to offer a professorship to a distinguished researcher from abroad. Thus, HOROS strengthens the scientific environment of the research campus Innsbruck that attracts not only the best students, but also distinguished scientists to the campus. Natural sciences as well as medical students are welcome to apply for PhD positions!
