Postdoc Researcher in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
JOB DESCRIPTION
The Pere Virgili Institute for Health Research (IISPV) is an institution that integrates research in the field of biomedicine in the “Camp de Tarragona” and the “Terres de l’Ebre”. The IISPV is the instrument that the university hospitals of both health regions have been endowed with (Joan XXIII University Hospital of Tarragona, Verge de la Cinta Hospital of Tortosa, Sant Joan de Reus University Hospital, Institut Pere Mata University Hospital of Reus) and Rovira and Virgili University, in order to bring together and manage biomedical research and innovation in the territory.
The research group in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBODI) focuses on the link between gut microbiota, immunity, and adipose stem cells in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Current studies suggest that perilesional fat contributes to Crohn’s disease, and the translocation of bacteria from the affected intestine to perilesional fat causes metabolic and functional changes in this tissue that may contribute to disease progression. Understanding the role of gut microbiota, perilesional fat, and the interaction between adipose stem cells and immune cells in these patients will help us find useful biomarkers for diagnosing, predicting, or tracking disease progression. The team includes basic researchers, biologists, biotechnologists, as well as clinical researchers, gastroenterologists, surgeons, and nurses.
