PhD Student Project: A research project focusing on the underlying causes of heart failure, specifically preserved ejection fraction heart failure (HFpEF), seeks a motivated PhD candidate. The project aims to investigate the age-related aspect of HFpEF, attributing it to compromised cellular quality control linked to impaired autophagy. The ultimate goal is to identify therapeutic approaches by exploring autophagy checkpoints. The research involves collaboration with renowned international groups, offering a multidisciplinary and cutting-edge environment.
Designation: PhD Candidate
Research Area: Cardiovascular Aging, HFpEF, Autophagy
Location: Cardiovascular Aging group, led by M. Abdellatif, with potential international collaborations in Paris, Madrid, and Rotterdam.
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Candidates with a background in biomedical sciences, cardiology, or related fields.
- Strong research interest in cardiovascular aging and heart failure.
- Demonstrated experience with cutting-edge techniques, autophagic flux, and mitochondrial assays.
- Familiarity with genetic and pharmacological interventions in vivo.
Job Description:
- Investigate autophagy checkpoints in HFpEF development.
- Employ a range of techniques, including echocardiography, invasive hemodynamics, multiomics, and data integration.
- Collaborate with international research groups in Paris, Madrid, and Rotterdam.
- Conduct parts of the study abroad for a broader research perspective.
