FULL TIME
October 4, 2024
The Department of Biomedicine prioritises diversity and a good work environment, as this is a prerequisite for groundbreaking research. In a diverse and international research environment, dedicated employees are looking to generate new knowledge within biomedical research areas such as infection and inflammation, membranes, neuroscience and personalised medicine. The Department of Biomedicine provides research-based teaching of the highest quality and is responsible for a large part of the medical degree programme. Academic staff contribute to the teaching. English is the preferred language in the laboratory, at meetings and at seminars. The department employs approx. 500 people from all over the world, and they make use of the department's modern laboratory-, core- and animal facilities. The Department of Biomedicine focuses on innovation, entrepreneurship and collaboration with business and industry, and numerous researchers from the department have established companies to develop new medicinal treatments founded in professional scientific basic research.
About the research project
While increasing evidence indicates that the disruption of the circadian clock is a critical risk factor for metabolic syndrome and the associate pathologies, its causative role and the involved mechanisms are still largely unknown. Using human and animal experiments, this ambitious translational project will provide major insights into the cellular and molecular basis of how chronodisruption influences the progression of these pathologies. This will potentially help to define new strategies to diagnose, prevent, and treat metabolic dysfunction associated diseases.
