MÉS INFORMACIÓ

Descripció del treball

The Metabolomics Interdisciplinary Laboratory (MIL@b) research group belongs to the Institut d’Investigació Sanitària Pere Virgili (IISPV) and the Department of Electronic, Electrical and Automatic Engineering of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) and it is aimed to advance scientific and technological knowledge in metabolomics. This science is devoted to the global study of the low molecular weight chemical compounds found in the biofluids and tissues of living organisms.

MIL@b is a multidisciplinary research group formed by chemists, biologists, biochemists and engineers (telecommunications, computer science, biomedical, etc.), which has had the support and funding of the Generalitat de Catalunya in the latest AGAUR calls (SGR2009, SGR2014 and SGR2017). We have access to state-of-the-art Mass Spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance instrumentation at the Centre for Omic Sciences (COS) and at the Servei de Recursos Científics i Tècnics (SRCiT) of the URV.

 

We offer a part time (20h) collaboration grant for a last year undergraduate student of the course 2021-2022. The position is held in the benchmark of the project ECHOES (EPIGENETIC AND METABOLIC ALTERATIONS ASSOCIATED TO EARLY CHILDHOOD EXPOSURE TO AIR POLLUTION AND ITS ROLE IN LATER LIFE CHRONIC DISEASE) awarded by La Caixa Foundation Social Research call (LCF/PR/SR19/52540002). The main objective of ECHOES is to investigate the possible social inequalities in children regarding their exposure to air pollution, the role of this exposure in children’s health and its possible impact in later life chronic disease development.
