Unlock the Secrets of Metabolic Research
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our team at the Helmholtz Institute for Metabolic, Obesity and Vascular Research (HI-MAG) in Leipzig. Our research focuses on understanding the complex neurobiological mechanisms that link brain function with metabolic outcomes.
Your Tasks
- Participate in research activities focusing on the neural control of metabolism and adipose tissue function
- Conduct experimental research using advanced techniques such as chemogenetics, intracranial injections, and metabolic profiling of mouse models
- Analyze genetic and physiological data from both animal models and human samples
- Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to integrate findings and contribute to high-impact publications
- Present research findings at national and international scientific meetings
About the Project
The project aims to unravel the complex neurobiological mechanisms that link brain function with metabolic outcomes. Through this research, the candidate will explore how certain neural pathways influence whole-body metabolism and contribute to the overall energy homeostasis.
