Hey!

We are looking for a motivated MSc thesis worker (biochemistry or biology student) for our research project on Intestinal Pregnane X Receptor in Energy Metabolism.

Our group studies how pharmacologically relevant nuclear receptors modulate energy metabolism with state-of-the-art in vivo and in vitro methods. During the project, the thesis worker will get familiar with various methods, including studying transcriptomic changes with RNA sequencing, in vivo metabolism studies and adenovirus-mediated gene transfer, and preparing and culturing primary mouse hepatocytes. The candidate should be eligible to conduct experiments on mice.

The project should be started earliest in May-June or later in August or September 2018. The project is conducted in the University of Oulu Medical Faculty, Biomedicine Research Unit, Pharmacology and Toxicology in Prof. Jukka Hakkola’s research group in Kontinkangas campus.

If you are interested or need more info, please contact me (mikko.karpale@oulu.fi) or the group leader (jukka.hakkola@oulu.fi) latest by the end of May.

With best regards,

Mikko Karpale
