The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research
University of Copenhagen
We are looking for an experienced and motivated Researcher having extensive experience with ex vivo and in vitro microbiome culture and characterization to work in the Arumugam Group at The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR). The position is a 2-year position starting December 1, 2024, or after agreement.
Background
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) is an academic research Center that pioneers groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health. Through collaborative interdisciplinary research from single-cell genomics to whole-body systems, CBMR aims to transform the basic understanding of cardiometabolic health and accelerate its translation into prevention and treatment strategies. The Center’s uniquely multi- and interdisciplinary approach combines research in genetics, physiology and pharmacology, to better understand the complex interplay of the many factors that drive cardiometabolic disease. You can learn more in the Executive Summary of CBMR's Strategy 2024–2028.
CBMR was established in 2010 at the Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences and has been located in the Maersk Tower at PANUM since 2017. The around 260 employees create an international, highly collaborative research environment across disciplines.
Our group and research
The Microbiome Systems Biology research group led by Associate Professor Manimozhiyan Arumugam investigates how health and diseases are influenced by our gut microbiome, how the gut microbiome interacts with the host and environmental factors, and how we can therapeutically modulate the gut microbiome to improve metabolic health. The group takes an interdisciplinary approach combining multi-omics microbiome data to study host-microbial cross-talk.
More information about the group can be found at https://cbmr.ku.dk/research/research-groups/arumugam-group/
Project description
The project aims to decipher how dietary components affect specific members of the human gut microbiome using high-throughput dietary interventions on ex-vivo human gut microbiomes.
Your job
Your tasks will include in-vitro culturing and characterizing complex microbial communities; designing and performing dietary/nutrient intervention on these communities; and performing molecular microbiology characterizations. You will work closely together with lab technicians, bioinformaticians and researchers at multiple levels. We expect you to operate and run fed-batch anaerobic fermenters, perform sample collections and extraction of nucleic acids and metabolites. Further to this, you will be responsible for coordinating the running of multi-omics (metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, meta-proteomics and metabolomics) and data analysis with technicians and bionformaticians. You will also participate in collaborative projects with other research groups at the Center that involves in vitro culturing of gut microbiota. Lastly, you will be expected to actively contribute to creating novel ideas, writing research publications and grant applications, supervising students, and presenting the results at seminars and conferences.
