Opportunity summary

Official occupation: ph.d., sundhedsvidenskab. Employment conditions: Almindelige vilkår. Employer CVR: 29979812. Primary career market: Public Sector, Education & Impact (occupation evidence). We are offering a PhD fellowship in cellular mechanisms underlying severe post-acute disease biology in the Desler Group at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen commencing on November 1, 2026 or as soon as possible hereafter. Our group and research The Desler Group investigates how alterations in cellular metabolism and immune function contribute to chronic disease development. Our research investigates how mitochondrial dysfunction, immunometabolic reprogramming, cellular senescence and persistent inflammatory responses contribute to disease development following viral infections and during aging. We do so by bridging human cohort studies with mechanistic molecular biology by integrating longitudinal clinical datasets, multi-omics analyses and advanced 2D and 3D cellular model systems to investigate the mechanisms underlying post-acute disease trajectories affecting the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and renal system. Furthermore, the group investigates aging at the molecular level and its link to age-related diseases1 …
