PhD position: metabolic reprogramming in critical illness
il y a 3 jours
Our research focuses on critical illness, what can be defined as any life-threatening condition for which the body requires intensive medical care to prevent death. One of the hallmarks of critical illness is the development of a hypercatabolic response which cannot be counteracted by nutrition alone. This project wants to unravel the observed metabolic dysregulation and identify how nutrition can play either a detrimental or beneficial role in the recovery process of critical illness. We will address our questions in a clinically relevant mouse model of intensive-care-supported critical illness and translate if possible to the human patient in retrospective and prospective studies.
Keywords: Critical illness, sepsis, metabolism, nutrition
The selected candidate will conduct translational PhD research under the supervision of Prof. Lies Langouche, Prof. Michael Casaer and Prof. Jan Gunst.
