The Institute for Diabetes and Cancer, member of the Helmholtz Diabetes Center and the German Center for Diabetes Research aims at identifying common molecular targets in order to develop personalized therapies for Metabolic and Tumor diseases. For our research on Metabolic Programming across Generations, the newly established Vogt lab is searching, starting June 1, 2022,

With your project, you will investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the increased risk of children of malnourished parents to develop metabolic, cardiovascular and neurological disorders. In particular, you will focus on dissecting the interplay between metabolism and the epigenome. Using a well-established model of metabolic programming in C. elegans in combination with state-of-the-art -omics techniques, you will determine how parental diet, metabolism and epigenetics contribute to metabolic programming of the offspring.
