København N
We are offering a PhD fellowship in Metabolite Receptology, SUNCR1 and Liver Pathology commencing 1 January 2023 or after agreement.
About us
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 aim of the Schwartz Group is to characterize and understand how signaling metabolites and their specific GPCR sensors interact with hormonal and neuronal mechanisms to control endocrine and metabolic functions as the basis for developing novel means to prevent and treat obesity and diabetes and related diseases.More information about the group can be found here.
Project description
We are seeking an enthusiastic, passionate PhD fellow to investigate the role of metabolite receptors - in particular the succinate receptor SUCNR1 - in hepatic response to metabolic stress and how this is a balance between protective repair and damaging inflammation. A special focus will be on characterizing the development of hepatic crown-like structures and their role in these processes. The project will involve a number of in vivo animal experiments and analysis of both murine and human tissue using various methods including state of the art histological methodologies involving different forms of spatial transcriptomic analysis combined with single cell transcriptomics analysis. The PhD project will be integrated in a portfolio of similar projects dealing with the role of metabolite receptors in repair, remodeling, and inflammation in other tissues a well as in cancer development.
Principal supervisor is Professor Thue W. Schwartz, Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, E-mail: [email protected]
Start: 1 January 2023 or after agreement
Duration: 3 years as a PhD student
