. Activities and responsibilities The research group of Carsten Deppermann offers the following PhD project: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) cause one third of all deaths worldwide. With increasing incidence

PhD position: Interactions between the hematopoietic system and the bone marrow microenvironment in aging (m/f/d)

an increased production of myeloid cells at the expense of the adaptive immune lymphocytes. This has been associated with an increased risk of age-related conditions including cardiovascular complications
