Background
CBMR is a vibrant international research environment with a focus on interdisciplinary collaboration. Our researchers share a common purpose as they seek to transform the basic understanding of the mechanisms involved in metabolic health and disease, and to accelerate this knowledge toward new prevention and treatment strategies. The Center’s research has resulted in seminal discoveries as to how genes, hormones, and environmental factors influence metabolic health and disease throughout life. You can read more about us here www.cbmr.ku.dk.
Our group and research
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research’s vision is to strengthen interdisciplinary research that transforms our basic understanding of the mechanisms that underlie metabolic health and disease, and to accelerate this knowledge toward new prevention and treatment strategies. We were established in 2010 and in 2017, we moved into new laboratories, offices, and meeting rooms in the Maersk Tower www.maersktower.ku.dk.
The Center has around 260 employees who work in an international, highly collaborative research environment across a range of biomedical disciplines. You can read more about us here www.cbmr.ku.dk.
The group
The Hansen Group investigates the human genome and the human global microbiome to characterize the impact of these genomes on health and disease and to identify interactions between the host and the microbiome. You can read more about the Hansen Group here.
Project description
We seek an enthusiastic, passionate researcher to perform a PhD project in Genetic Epidemiology. The main objective of the PhD project is to investigate the relationship between oral and metabolic health. The project will involve performing genome-wide association study, deriving polygenic risk scores (PRS) for selected oral diseases, and conducting mendelian randomization study to assess the causal relationships between oral and metabolic health. The PhD student will work with genetic, phenotype and registry data of various population-based cohorts.
Principal supervisor is Professor Torben Hansen, Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, email: [email protected]
Start: September 1, 2022, or after agreement
