Funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks programme Grant Agreement No 101168624.
We also welcome applications from undergraduate (pre-BSc and MSc) students who wish to pursue an internship in our lab. Please contact kathrin.thedieck@metabolic-signaling.eu
Not found the right position, but you think you would perfectly fit our team? Then please contact Prof. Thedieck and enclose your plans for your project and integration into the research of our department. We are also happy to support your application for an own third party funded fellowship.
What we offer:
As a member of the Department for “Metabolism, Senescence and Autophagy” at the Research Center One Health Ruhr, you will complement and strengthen our focus on metabolic signal transduction. Of particular interest is the interplay of oncogenic signalling cascades with tumour metabolism for the development of new predictive markers and therapeutic targets in preclinical models and clinical studies. Our excellence is highlighted by prestigous National and European grants including the ERC Advanced Grant BEYOND STRESS
Our method portfolio focuses on the biochemical and cell biological analysis of new mechanisms and the systems analysis of signalling and metabolic networks. Quantitative MS analysis of the proteome and metabolome and systems modelling go hand in hand. The department offers excellent instrumentation with the latest equipment technology for molecular & cell biology, biochemistry and MS-based proteo-metabolomics.
The newly founded Research Centre One Health Ruhr – from Molecules to Systems of the Universities of Duisburg-Essen, Dortmund and Bochum focuses on research into the fundamental mechanisms of health and disease, from the molecular level to higher-level systems. The ecosystem is the context in which we consider the complex interactions between environmental health, animal health and human health in the sense of the “One Health” concept. The “Metabolism, Senescence and Autophagy” department is particularly concerned with the influence of metabolic disruptors on oncogenic mechanisms and therapy response.
The Faculty of Medicine enjoys an excellent reputation – in the clinical and translational fields as well as in basic research. The key research areas “Oncology”, “Cardiovascular Diseases”, “Immunology and Infectiology”, “Translational Neuro- and Behavioural Sciences” and “Transplantation” are internationally established. We offer an excellent scientific environment and attractive opportunities for collaboration with renowned international, national and regional partners. As a site of the German Consortium for Translational Cancer Research (DKTK) and the National Centre for Tumour Research (NCT), we offer a network of excellent partners in cancer research.
