PhD Position in Molecular Metabolic Differences at Maastricht University the Netherlands 2020

Posted on June 18, 2022 by Edutymes


There exists no cure for pressure overload-induced heart failure (PO-HF), a life-threatening condition affecting millions worldwide. Hypertension and aortic stenosis are leading risk factors of PO-HF. Interestingly, premenopausal women are at a lower risk of developing PO-HF. Our current molecular understanding of what triggers heart failure and determines its progression in both genders remains incomplete.

Their team recently showed that changes in cardiac energy substrate uptake and cardiac mass precede the drop in energy status and cardiac dysfunction. In collaboration with the academic hospital (cardiology), the current translational project will investigate PO-HF development in a gender-dependent manner and explore the potential of a chosen therapeutic target.
