　　Your responsibilities will include:

　　The 15 projects within the TRR/SFB 259 aim to address the underlying resident and non-resident molecular and cellular mechanisms of aortic disease, with a particular focus on aortic valve stenosis, aortic aneurysm, and aortic dissection. To date, the only treatments available for aortic disease have been surgical, invasive, and reactionary, thus, earlier indicators of disease are desperately needed. With this in mind, projects were selected for this consortium to collaboratively address the following fundamental questions:

　　1) What are the key cellular players in the innate and adaptive immune processes that are involved in aortic disease?

　　2) Which danger signals, mediators, and cytokines govern the pathological interaction between circulating cells and resident cells?

　　3) Which specific signaling pathways in interstitial smooth muscle cells drive aortic disease?

　　4) How do resident cell death pathways influence aortic wall inflammation and extracellular matrix composition? 5) Which are the underlying genes involved in human aortic disease?

　　The DFG Transregio SFB 259 „Aortic Disease“ invites applicants from enthusiastic, motivated individuals for the Research Group B05 within the Transregio SFB 259 „Necroptosis in aortic aneurysm disease – significance of inflammation in MLKL-dependent cell death“ of Prof. Manolis Pasparakis and Dr. Matti Adam.
