Freelance - København N

Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen is looking for a Senior Consultant to lead the Proteomics Platform from starting 1 July 2024, or upon agreement.

About us
The Proteomics Program analyses all protein variants in a sample to identify proteins involved in disease and disease biomarkers. Proteomics reveals the identity and amounts of proteins and their modifications in a biological sample. Through innovative use and development of mass spectrometry technology, the program focuses on finding the proteins that are responsible for various diseases.

Results from proteomics can ultimately provide knowledge to develop drugs that can cure the most dominant diseases in the world including specific types of cancer or metabolic diseases like diabetes. Advanced mass spectrometry-based proteomics is a key technology to The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR) at the University of Copenhagen. Therefore, a position is offered to lead, develop and maintain the established proteomics platform to support the proteomics research groups at CPR. The CPR promotes basic and applied research on proteins of medical relevance. The research scope spans in-silico biology, proteomics, biochemistry and cell biology, and the unifying theme is the identification and functional exploration of proteins and protein pathways involved in disease mechanisms.
