The department of Prof. Stefan Jakobs (High Resolution and Automated Microscopy) at the Fraunhofer Institute for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology (ITMP), Branch for Translational Neuroinflammation and Automated Microscopy (TNM) in Göttingen invites applications for the positions as a Business Development Manager (all genders).
At the Göttingen location of the Fraunhofer ITMP - Translational Neuroinflammation and Automated Microscopy (TNM), we are using super-resolution microscopy techniques combined with genome editing and advanced image analysis to enhance our understanding of cellular phenotypes in various diseases and to identify potential drug targets. We are a multidisciplinary team of biologists, physicists and data scientists that intends to create added value for clinical as well as pharmacological research by using super-resolution microscopy methods.
Modern microscopy techniques such as STED microscopy enable the analysis of protein localizations and distributions at the nanometer scale. Thus, previously unknown changes in the structure and dynamics of protein clusters within cells of diseased patients can be investigated.
The detection of clinically relevant abnormalities will contribute to a better understanding of cellular changes in a variety of diseases. As a Business Development Manager, you will represent our technologies and services at trade fairs, actively engage with potential customers, and develop new business opportunities. By identifying market and customer needs, you will help us continuously adapt and refine our portfolio.
