Project description

The doctoral student's thesis work will be conducted within the framework of Professor Martin Jastroch's research group. The project addresses molecular mechanisms of energy metabolism particularly related to obesity, metabolic diseases or evolution. We use experimental animals (mouse, marsupials) and cellular models (fat cells) to understand the underlying mechanisms in the development of metabolic dysfunctions, evaluated with mouse metabolic phenotyping, bioenergetic and molecular analyses. The project will also involve handling large amounts of data from omics methods and basic computational and programming skills will be necessary.
