PhD or MD-PhD student position 100%
vor 3 Wochen
Project background: Project/aims/to do's: Starting point of your PhD project is a group of patients suffering from ultra-rare inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) which cause a disruption of central energy-conserving pathways such as the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and the malate aspartate shuttle (MAS). Malate dehydrogenase 2 (MDH2) deficiency is an IEM affecting both – the TCA cycle and the MAS. We recently published several articles on a young girl suffering from an MDH2 deficiency who was the fourth patient described in literature and the first patient to receive triheptanoin - a novel dietary therapy (Refs.: PMID and PMID Triheptanoin consists of three molecules of C7 fatty acids linked to a glycerol backbone. C7 is used as an energy substrate in the beta-oxidation of mitochondria. Our patient clinically benefited from this therapy. We currently aim to objectify this therapeutic approach by investigating and comparing different dietary strategies in a liver disease model using patient-derived human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived hepatocytes (hiPSC-Heps). Recently we established and characterized the first hiPSC-Hep-based liver disease model recapitulating MDH2 deficiency (PMID Now, the plan for your PhD project is to intensify and expand above studies and to learn more about different pathways involved and to test different potentially more sophisticated therapeutic approaches for MDH2 deficiency and other TCA cycle and MAS defects. Overall goal: To accomplish a PhD within a familiar environment and great team atmosphere. You will encounter a spirit of humanity and enthusiasm to solve patient-oriented research questions You shall gain professional and lab experience during your PhD, you will have lots of fun within and besides the lab, you will be doing very hard work, you will be thrilled and enthusiastic and you will build up your own career path which shall continue after completion of your PhD
