INTERNATIONAL CALL IC01_25 

JOB TITLE

Collaboration grant for the project “Multi-tissue Lipidomics reveals biomarkers of liver disease in severe obesity and mechanisms associated with dysfunctional adipose tissue”

 

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.

We offer a collaboration grant for 4th year undergraduate student of the course 2024- 2025.

The Biomedical Research Unit is part of the IISPV, Rovira i Virgili University, and the Sant Joan University Hospital in Reus. The current research lines focus on studying the interconnection between metabolism, oxidation, and inflammation in non-communicable diseases such as cancer, fatty liver disease, and obesity.

The candidate will be part of the team of technicians working in the laboratory. In recent years, we have successfully funded several projects aimed at studying liver diseases associated with obesity and cancer. We have a large number of samples provided by patients, and through their analysis in the laboratory, we generate a vast amount of data that cannot be analyzed with conventional statistical techniques.

The candidate will collaborate in optimizing medical image analysis techniques and in developing bioinformatics tools to facilitate the understanding of results obtained after image analysis.

This collaboration grant is funded by “la Caixa” Foundation, for the project with title “Multi-tissue Lipidomics reveals biomarkers of liver disease in severe obesity and mechanisms associated with dysfunctional adipose tissue”

Number of available positions: 2
