Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences
University of Copenhagen
The Department of Forensic Medicine is offering a three-year PhD fellowship with a three-month temporary position as research assistant. The temporary position relates to the preparation of a PhD-application, and the PhD fellowship is conditioned on enrolment as PhD-student and satisfying performance during the temporary position. The PhD Fellow ship is within the field of methylation of regulatory DNA in sudden cardiac death and is available from June 1st, 2020 or as soon as possible hereafter.
Our group and research
The Department of Forensic Medicine performs forensic pathology, anthropology, odontology, chemistry, and genetic investigations. One of the research areas is Sudden Cardiac Death. The Section of Forensic Genetics performs research concerning molecular biology investigations, including investigation of DNA, methylation of DNA, and RNA. The research group of the Section of Forensic Genetics has an academic staff of five academics in fixed positions, nine academics in PhD and postdoc positions, and a number of bachelor and master students. The research areas include studies of new forensic genetic methods, population genetics, genetics of sudden cardiac death, severe psychiatric diseases, melanoma, atopic dermatitis, and pigmentation. The studies include investigations of epigenetic factors by means of the degree of methylation of DNA with various methods.
Project description
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is responsible for a large proportion of non-traumatic, sudden and unexpected death in young individuals. SCD it often is the first symptom of an otherwise healthy individual, where an autopsy might or might not determine the cause of death depending of the morphological structural changes of the heart. However, the genetic background of SCD is unquestioned. Genetic testing is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of SCD, but there is still a need for improved understanding of the genetics and molecular mechanisms of SCD.
The SCD cases are selected after deep, state-of-the-art phenotyping at the institute. The phenotypic investigations of the deceased individuals will be performed by experts in forensic pathology and cardiology.
The aim of the current project is to increase the understanding of SCD by identifying patterns of the degree of methylation of DNA and its association with genetic variation and the expression of RNA. The investigations of methylation of DNA will be carried out with the use of primarily massively parallel sequencing (MPS) and beadchip arrays. The results of DNA methylation will be compared to those of whole genome DNA sequencing and RNA investigations as well as clinical phenotypes and other relevant information. The technical part of the project will be performed at the Section of Forensic Genetics, Department of Forensic Medicine.
