The University of Copenhagen is seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD fellow to commence March 1, 2025, or after agreement, in the Deshmukh Group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR), University of Copenhagen.

About Us
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) is an academic research Center that pioneers groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health. Through collaborative interdisciplinary research from single-cell genomics to whole-body systems, CBMR aims to transform the basic understanding of cardiometabolic health and accelerate its translation into prevention and treatment strategies. The Center’s uniquely multi- and interdisciplinary approach combines research in genetics, physiology and pharma­cology, to better understand the complex interplay of the many factors that drive cardiometabolic disease. You can learn more in the Executive Summary of CBMR's Strategy 2024–2028.

CBMR was established in 2010 at the Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences and has been located in the Maersk Tower at PANUM since 2017. The around 260 employees create an international, highly collaborative research environment across disciplines.

Our Research
The Deshmukh Group is engaged in highly interdisciplinary research that combines the field of proteomics, exercise science, nutrition, and cell biology to study the impact of lifestyle on metabolism. The main goal of our research is to investigate how diet and exercise alters intra- and intercellular communication and hence the metabolism. We value teamwork and collaboration, both within our group and with international researchers, to expand our knowledge and develop innovative approaches to study metabolism. Through our collaborative efforts, we strive to improve the health and well-being of individuals worldwide. More information about the group can be found here

Project Description
We are seeking an enthusiastic, passionate researcher to perform a PhD project in functional proteomics. The main objective of the project is to identify and characterize secreted proteins in body fluid samples from healthy and type 2 diabetic individuals at rest and after an exercise intervention. The successful applicant will utilize cutting-edge proteomics workflow, alongside bioinformatics and metabolic assays in in vitro and in vivo model systems. The candidate will work in an interdisciplinary team comprising molecular biologists, bioinformaticians and cell biologists. By working together, we aim to gain better understanding of the complex mechanisms behind protein secretion and how they are influenced by exercise and metabolic disorders.
