We have opened competition for a PhD student position: Mathematical modeling of energy transfer and mechanics in theheart In heart muscle cells, energy used by most of the processes in the muscle cells is supplied in the form ofATP by mitochondria. Within this project, you would be designing state-of-the-art mathematical models to unravel mechanisms regulating ATP production in mitochondria, selection of energy transfer pathways between mitochondria and ATP consumers, as well as working o...

We have opened competition for a PhD student position: Tracking molecular movement to unravel diffusion barriers in cardiac cells This is an interdisciplinary project combining physics and biology to study the intracellular environment in the heart muscle. Through the development of cutting-edge experimental and data analysis approaches, it is expected to reveal intracellular environment properties that govern molecular movements and shape its physiology. So that the heart could produc...

We are looking for a B.Sc. or M.Sc. student to work full or part-time during the summer and, if there is an interest, for longer. The job is to do Western blots to assess whether the phosphorylation status of some proteins is different in hearts from creatine-deficient mice. Image analysis and insertion into the database is also part of the job. The results can stand alone and form the basis for a thesis. It is an advantage to have experience with laboratory work, but we will be happy to ...

We have opened competition for two PhD student positions: Linking energetics to muscle phenotype: the importance of intracellular microdomains on the regulation of AMP-activated kinase . The aim of this project is to study in detail how energetics affects the signaling pathways in skeletal and heart muscle tissue. You will learn how to combine experimental and theoretical approaches to extract as much information as possible from your data.Deep dive into the cardiac cell: tracking molecular ...

We have composed a list of topics proposed for the students interested in joining the lab. List is available under Positions. This is the first version of the list and will be updated soon to include more projects for students with the different backgrounds. Feel free to ask about possible projects outside the list as well.
