Beschreibung:

We are currently seeking a highly motivated PhD student for approximately 3 years. The position is available in the research group of Klaus Kratochwill, the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Molecular Stress Research in Peritoneal Dialysis (CDL-MSRPD), at the Department of Pediatrics of the Medical University of Vienna.

The CDL aims to provide improved therapeutic and diagnostic options for patients requiring renal replacement therapy. The objective of this project is to search for molecular mechanisms by which the cytoprotective action of novel additives is exerted in experimental and clinical peritoneal dialysis (PD) and identify the distinct molecular targets. On the basis of previously generated in-vitro and in-vivo models, the impact and controllability of post-translational modification of proteins will be investigated under stress conditions combined with cytoprotective additives. Focusing on the role of specific glycosylation of proteins, we aim to extend insight into this environmental sensor and its modulation on cellular function and ultimately patient outcome in PD.
