About the project

Ensuring energy stability while significantly reducing our carbon footprint will require novel concepts to tackle climate crises. The decarbonization of power supply is currently being addressed by extending our renewable capacities, such as photovoltaics. Heat storage, on the other hand, has seen significantly less innovative solutions, with heat pumps being the currently favored option.

This project will investigate a novel concept for providing so-called thermal batteries on the basis of dilution energy. This concept essentially allows converting heat to a liquid that can be transported, stored and released wherever required. Theoretical assessments of this concept predict a storage density exceeding current state-of-the-art reversible heat storage by one order of magnitude.

Activities and Responsibilities

• Screening of viable energy storage materials
• Development of a mixed-phase concentration module suitable for heat storage
• Development of a device for the controlled energy release through a microfluidic mixing device for optimized convective mixing

In the field of “Ageing & Disease”, the research group of Björn Clausen offers the following PhD project:

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men and women worldwide, with increasing incidence rates, in particular in young people. CRC can arise sporadically or due to chronic inflammation, and both genetic disposition as well as environmental factors contribute to the development of CRC. Risk factors include age and lifestyle such as poor dietary habits, alcohol consumption, smoking, obesity, and lack of physical activity, and possibly viral infections. Patients with long-standing inflammatory bowel diseases exhibit a higher risk to develop colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC).

B cells are an important part of the immune cell infiltrate of tumors, and their contribution to tumor initiation, development, and immunosurveillance is complex with both pro- and anti-tumorigenic effects. Recent studies implicate a fundamental role of B cells in shaping anti-tumor responses through several mechanisms. While IgA⁺ plasma cells regulate bacterial populations in the gut lumen in steady state, plasma cell-derived tumor-specific IgG1 antibodies mediate cell cytotoxicity and phagocytosis of tumor cells. In addition, B cells present tumor-specific antigens via MHCI and MHCII to T cells inducing their anti-tumor effector function. B cells also regulate the immune response within the tumor microenvironment through the release of cytokines, such as IFN-g, IL-12, or IL-10. CRC patients show substantial alterations in their B cell compartment, with increasing numbers of IL-10 producing B cells in advanced tumors and metastases. CRC patients with tumors highly infiltrated by CD20⁺ B cells display significantly improved survival, which suggests an anti-tumor role of B cells. In line, B cells are closely associated with CD8⁺ cytotoxic T cells, which are important in antigen-specific immunity against tumors. Antibody-independent mechanisms such as antigen presentation, cytokine production, direct cytotoxicity, and indirect effects through modulation of other immune cells have been demonstrated to be of great importance. Thus, whether B cells promote or inhibit tumor growth depends on different variables, such as temporal and spatial settings, as well as on the composition of B cell subsets. Therefore, a phenotypical and functional characterization of B cells in CRC tumor initiation and progression is of great interest with a possible therapeutic benefit.

PhD project: The role of B cells in Colorectal Cancer Development and Progression

The molecular and cellular mechanisms underpinning inflammatory processes that promote epithelial transition to carcinogenesis are still only insufficiently characterized, and especially how B cells contribute to these processes. We started investigating the role of B cells in the inflammatory phase, and at later time points of tumor development/progression in the well-established animal model of inflammation-induced CRC (AOM/DSS). We could show that B cells exert an important role by using B cell-deficient mice (JHT mice), which were completely resistant to AOM/DSS-induced inflammation as well as CRC development. Further, we could show that B cell-specific secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokine IL-10 drives CAC development, whereas it does not affect the inflammatory phase of CAC development.

In this proposed project, we will further elucidate the role of B cells in CAC using the AOM/DSS model. We will perform a detailed in vivo and in vitro analysis of different transgenic animals, manipulating, for example, antibody secretion using mice that are not able to secrete antibodies (IgMi mice). We will further use mice that allow us to delete B cells at any desired time point of CRC development to investigate the temporal/spatial role of B cells in colon carcinogenesis (iDTRCD19-cre mice).

In addition, we will employ a non-inflammatory model of sporadic CRC since preliminary data also show a significant role of B cells in this tumor entity. Besides these animal models, we will perform different molecular methods, flow cytometric analysis, immunohistochemistry as well as single cell and bulk RNA sequencing from tumors as well as the tumor microenvironment. We will create organoids, if possible, also from human tissue samples.

Finally, we will translate our experimental findings to the clinic by using human CRC samples from patients with inflammation-induced CRC in comparison to patients suffering from sporadic CRC and investigate the contribution of B cells.

Of note, this project is jointly conducted by the Hövelmeyer and Clausen laboratories at the Institute for Molecular Medicine in Mainz, as funded by the established DFG CRC 1292.

Activities and responsibilities:

In the field of “Ageing & Disease”, the research group of Björn Clausen offers the following PhD project:

The oral mucosa represents a barrier tissue to the environment where the balance of immunity and tolerance is vital, as it is constantly exposed to pathogens and harmless foreign antigens, including commensals. A breakdown of this balance leads to dysbiosis resulting in periodontitis, an infection-induced inflammatory disease characterized by irreversible destruction of the tooth-supporting tissues including loss of the underlying bone. Moreover, it is considered a risk factor for life-threatening conditions such as cardiovascular disease. Dendritic cells (DC), including Langerhans cells (LC), have the unique capacity to promote both tolerogenic and inflammatory immune responses. Hence, in order to design effective therapeutic strategies to treat periodontitis and reduce the risk of developing comorbidities, it is essential to understand how DC in the oral mucosa maintain immune homeostasis.

PhD project: E-cadherin and β-catenin signaling in dendritic cells for the maintenance of immune homeostasis in the oral mucosa

One pathway that plays a crucial role in DC homeostasis and tolerance induction is E-cadherin/β-catenin signaling. The cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin is only expressed by LC and we recently showed that it is involved in the 2-step process of their differentiation in the oral mucosa. Notably, to what extent E-cadherin/β-catenin signaling regulates LC/DC homeostasis and function in the oral mucosa is not known. In pilot experiments, we analyzed the oral mucosa of transgenic mice lacking E-cadherin in CD11c⁺ cells (CD11c-Ecad^DEL) and observed an altered LC subset distribution and a dramatically changed morphology with more rounded cell bodies and fewer dendrites compared to controls. In the proposed project a detailed in vivo and in vitro analysis of CD11c-Ecad^DEL and β-catenin deficient (CD11c-βcat^DEL) mice will be performed. First, we will assess LC and DC homeostasis, activation and migration in the different oral tissues by high-dimensional flow cytometry as well as the impact of CD11c-specific E-cadherin or β-catenin deletion on other immune cell populations. Moreover, we detected oral dysbiosis in our CD11c-Ecad^DEL mice and therefore, a detailed taxonomic microbiota analysis will be performed in this project. Since persistent microbial dysbiosis results in inflammation and subsequently alveolar bone loss, we will analyze the oral tissues of CD11c-Ecad^DEL and CD11c-βcat^DEL mice for T cell infiltration and inflammatory cytokines. Bone loss will be monitored by micro computed tomography (µCT) scans. Finally, in different mouse models of periodontitis (P. gingivalis- and ligature-induced periodontal disease) we will interrogate the impact of E-cadherin/β-catenin signaling on LC/DC during infection and inflammation. Applying single-cell RNA sequencing the molecular pathways affected by E-cadherin/ β-catenin signals in oral mucosal LC/DC will be deciphered. Our expected findings may thus have important implications for designing improved LC/DC-based strategies for the treatment of periodontal disease.

Activities and responsibilities:

In the field of “Ageing & Disease”, the research group of Wolfram Ruf offers the following PhD project:

Bone marrow-resident hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) are the source of all mature blood cells and replenish the body needs continuously in homeostasis and challenges throughout the life of the host. Although hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are mainly quiescent, they reversibly switch to proliferation upon challenges, such as infection, bleeding, or circadian rhythm. HSCs become dysfunctional in aging by incompletely understood cues from the bone marrow environment. This results in imbalances in the differentiation of HSPC that results in more inflammation (myeloid skewing) and age-related pathologies. Interactions of HSPC with various cellular and soluble (growth factors, extracellular vesicles) components of the bone marrow microenvironment crucially regulate the developmental fate of HSPC and proteases of the coagulation system have been shown to contribute to both matrix remodeling and regulation of homeostasis or mobilization of HSPC (extravascular coagulation signaling). Mutation or deficiencies of components of the coagulation system have been implicated in the regulation of HSPC in aging mouse models.

PhD project: Coagulation receptors in aging

The aim of the project is to determine the contribution of extravascular coagulation and immune signaling mechanisms to unbalanced hematopoiesis in aging with a long-term goal to possibly identify rejuvenation strategies. The work of the PhD candidate(s) will include the analysis of recently identified different mouse models with accelerated aging phenotypes and apply state of the art single cell technologies to characterize HSPC phenotypes and function. Characterization of the bone marrow environment by proteomics (e.g. of extracellular vesicles) may also be required to identify underlying molecular mechanisms for altered HSPC output in aging. Theoretical and practical knowledge in molecular and cell biology and/or protein chemistry are expected for successful candidates. The candidate should have an interest in systems biology approaches and develop skills to apply bioinformatics on newly generated and available omics data sets.
