Functiebeschrijving
We are looking for a very motivated PhD student to perform research and obtain her/his PhD degree in the field of cardiovascular diseases. He/she will work within the very dynamic Cardiovascular Research institute Maastricht, within the group of the Centre of Heart Failure Research, in close collaboration with E. Lutgens, dep. of Pathology.
Heart failure due to hypertension or viral infections in the heart represents an important cause of heart failure and sudden death in young previously healthy adults (age 18 up to 60 years). This project provides and open position for a PhD student (AIO position), to study the implication of CD40 in cardiac inflammation, and resulting fibrosis and hypertrophy during heart failure, using CD40 knockout animals, in vitro studies, molecular studies on cardiac tissues, and FACS analysis in blood. The PhD student will perform additional studies to study the implication of additional inflammation pathways in the development of cardiac inflammation, leading to progressive cardiac fibrosis and failure.
The project will focus on
1. CD154-CD40-TRAF interactions in the progression of HF during hypertensive heart disease (HD):
2. CD40-mediated induction of Th17-lymphocytes as a central pathway by which it increases cardiac failure in hypertensive HD.
This work is embedded in the Cardiovascular Research Institute of Maastricht, University of Maastricht, within the department of Cardiology (Stephane Heymans), in close collaboration with the dept. of Pathology (Esther Lutgens).
Functie-eisen
A very motivated, eager, and smart PhD student, willing to perform in depth research within the cardiovascular field, with a particular focus on inflammation and heart failure.
Sufficient experience in molecular techniques, including PCR, immunoblotting, etc…
Experience with animal work and in vitro setups is of additional value.
Arbeidsvoorwaarden

Functiebeschrijving
Bij de vakgroep Biochemie van de Universteit is er recentelijk een nieuwe antistollende weg ontdekt waarin protein S en Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI) samenwerken bij het onderdrukken van trombinegeneratie bij lage procoagulante stimuli. Om de fysiologische betekenis van dit mechanisme te bestuderen moet de activiteit van dit systeem en de plasmagehaltes van protein S en TFPI bepaald worden. De kandidaat zal zich bezig houden met het doen van activiteitsbepalingen mbv Calibrated Automated Thrombin (CAT) generatie assays en ELISA’s in plasma van groepen van patienten die lijden aan hart- en vaatziekten.
Functie-eisen
Ervaring met ELISA technieken, affiniteit met biologische en biochemische analyses en systemen.
