This postdoc position is announced within the framework of a collaboration between the Vascular Surgery Group, Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Karolinska Institutet and Cardiovascular Research and Translation Science units of Novo Nordisk, Denmark.

The postdoc will help to build a glaucoma research center which employs biochemical analysis of blood and aqueous humor samples, and in vitro assays on patient cells to assess patients’ individual glaucoma profile.

The PhD student will develop and work on an experimental animal model of multi-morbidity focusing on disease interaction, disease progression and mental health including non-invasive multi-modal imaging. The aim of the project is to develop and use a novel experimental animal model to study simultaneously cancer, atherosclerosis, vascular calcification and mental health in one animal.
