In this context, you will analyze clinical data and lymphatic changes associated with the Fontan hemodynamics in patients.  In addition, lymphatic changes will be studied in a large scale sheep model. You will apply and analyze advanced imaging techniques to assess hemodynamic and lymphatic changes, using MRI, echocardiography, and histological evaluations. This translational approach provides innovative, detailed lymphatic assessment and will significantly improve our understanding and management of patients with Fontan circulation. Throughout the project, you will closely collaborate with the multidisciplinary team in cardiac surgery, pediatric cardiology, vascular biology, and lymphatic research. Profile You have a master’s degree in medicine, or another relevant discipline. You have a creative  and analytical mindset and look for problem-solving ideas and opportunities.

MICROSUNSET is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN) funded by the European Union, in which we have 12 open positions for Doctoral Candidates (DCs). We aim to create a network of early-stage researchers equipped with knowledge and skills – including entrepreneurship –to develop and support implementation strategies that address micronutrient deficiencies in Europe as diets shift toward more plant-based foods. For MICROSUNSET we will recruit 12 highly talented DCs, whose collective research will focus on bio-accessibility and bioavailability of micronutrients, and strategies to produce and process plant-based foods with enhanced concentration of micronutrients as an integrative part of sustainable and healthy diets. Development of analytical methods, digestion models, dietary modelling, and conducting consumer surveys will form part of the Doctoral Network’s tasks. The 12 PhD candidates will be based across seven different universities in Europe: four in Denmark (three at the Technical University of Denmark and one at the University of Copenhagen), two in Germany (Technical University of Munich), one in the Netherlands (Wageningen University), one in Ireland (University College Cork), two in the United Kingdom (University of Newcastle upon Tyne), and two in Finland (University of Helsinki). To train the DCs as the next generation of micronutrient researchers in our international and interdisciplinary program, MICROSUNSET brings together experts from several disciplines as supervisors, forming a consortium of seven beneficiaries (see above) and fourteen associated partners including six from industry and two start-ups.

Research area and project description: The retina of birds and fish is a highly metabolically active tissue but lacks internal blood vessels that typically provide removal of waste products of tissue metabolism. This project seeks to identify the mechanisms of cellular acid-base regulation that allows pH homeostasis in a neural tissue that lacks blood perfusion. In this PhD project, the candidate will use the chicken and zebrafish retina to identify the cellular mechanisms for intra-retinal acid/base regulation required to maintain pH homeostasis in an avascular tissue. The PhD student will collaborate closely with other students and postdocs within the group as well as national and international partners, where extended periods abroad are expected. The Ph.D. student will gain experience in cutting-edge techniques for measuring pH regulation on cellular and whole animal levels of biological organization. The student will gain experience with cell biology, whole animals physiology, fluorescence microscopy and in vivo light sheet microscopy.

Research area and project description: In the Andersen lab for Biomolecular Design (andersen-lab.dk) we are experts in designing DNA, RNA and proteins to create nanoscale devices for applications in biotechnology and medicine. The lab invented the RNA origami method that allows rational design of RNA scaffolds and devices for expression in cells [1] and have recently developed RNA origami robots that can sense, compute and actuate [2], which opens new possibilities for controlling cellular function. In the recently funded RIBOTICS (RNA Origami Technology in Cell Systems) project, the lab aims to develop RNA origami robots for cell factories (yeast production strains) for improved synthesis of valuable proteins and biochemicals. This PhD project aims to develop RNA scaffolds for metabolic enzymes that can be switched on or off inside living cells to regulate enzymatic pathways. To obtain this goal the PhD candidate will: Develop RNA origami structures with ligand-induced interactions through in vitro selection methods. Use RNA origami structures to engineer a “lattice robot” capable of forming 1D fibers, 2D sheets, and 3D lattices in response to specific ligands. Characterize the formation and function of these lattices in vitro and in vivo using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET)and fluorescence microscopy. Apply these lattices to control enzyme clustering in metabolic pathways, enhancing biochemical flux and pathway regulation. The RIBOTICS project involves a team of 3 postdocs and 3 PhD students, who will work on design, characterization, and experimental verification of several RNA systems that can regulate gene expression, control enzyme proximity, sense product yields, and do molecular computations for feedback control. The PhD student will work in close collaboration with the RIBOTICS team, will receive day-to-day scientific guidance from a Postdoctoral mentor, and will be part of a vibrant research environment at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center.
