København N
Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
University of Copenhagen
We are offering a PhD fellowship in Precision Health in Metabolism commencing January 1, 2023, or after agreement.
Background
The vision of the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research is to strengthen interdisciplinary research that transforms our understanding of the mechanisms underlying metabolic health and disease and then apply this knowledge to new prevention and treatment strategies. Established in 2010, we moved into new laboratories, offices, and meeting spaces in the Maersk Tower in 2017.
The Center has approximately 240 employees working across a wide range of biomedical disciplines in a highly collaborative, international research environment. You can read more about us here www.cbmr.ku.dk.
Our research
The Loos Group aims to identify the key genetic and non-genetic determinants of body weight regulation to gain insight into the deeper layers of biology that underlie obesity and metabolism. Additionally, we aim to improve prediction, prevention, and treatment through implementation of precision health strategies. You can read more about the Loos Group here.
Project description
We seek an enthusiastic, passionate researcher to carry out a PhD project in genomics of metabolic disease. The project will focus on multi-trait analyses to identify genetic variants that show distinct patterns of association with adiposity and metabolic traits and integration of multi-omics data to identify subtypes among individuals with obesity. In addition, by applying a range of bioinformatics methods and tools, the student will seek to identify the causative variants and genes, the relevant cell types and the states, and the physiological mechanisms by which the genetic variants may alter the phenotypic traits. The overall vision is to open avenues for translating genetic findings to new ways to prevent and treat obesity-related metabolic disorders. The PhD Fellow will carry out the project as part of an international and interdisciplinary team comprising bioinformaticians, epidemiologists and molecular biologists.
Principal supervisor is Professor Ruth Loos, Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, e-mail [email protected]
Start: January 1, 2023, or after agreement
Duration: 3 years as a PhD Fellow
Job description
