We are offering a PhD fellowship in Muscle Cell Biology commencing May 1st, 2024 or as soon as possible hereafter.

Our group and research:
Our group focuses on the understanding of the regulation of cardiac/skeletal muscle cell function. To achieve this, we use animal models and human tissue together with a portfolio of techniques ranging from single molecule biophysics to whole muscle physiology and from X-ray diffraction to high-resolution microscopy allowing deep mechanistic studies of disease mechanisms and therapies. https://bmi.ku.dk/english/research/exercise-and-muscle/ochala-group/

Project description:

Patients who are critically ill are treated in specialised intensive care units. Because of developments in critical care medicine, most of these patients now survive and are ultimately discharged from hospital. Despite this, patients’ physical function is often markedly impaired for long periods after hospital discharge, affecting their ability to work and deeply impacting healthcare resources. This prolonged loss of physical function has been largely attributed to ‘critical illness myopathy’. The present project aims to define the exact underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of critical illness myopathy. For that, we will perform deep phenotyping of human muscle samples using multiple cell-based assays, X-ray diffraction and proteomics.
