Postdoc summary/title:– Postdoctoral Researcher/The Strategic Research Programme for Diabetes (6) Signal transducers regulating glucose transport in type 2 diabetes
The Integrative Physiology research group at the Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery at Karolinska Institutet is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the group of Professor Juleen R. Zierath. The research in the group is focused on translational studies on cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes and the effects of physical activity on glucose and lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle.
This project is designed to test the role of signal transducers to improve glucose homeostasis by targeting skeletal muscle glucose transport. The candidate will explore the molecular signal transducers involved in the regulation of glucose transport to restore glucose uptake in skeletal muscle from people with type 2 diabetes. The team has identified several candidates that may play a direct role in glucose transport. The postdoctoral fellow will validate the role of novel signal transducers in the regulation of glucose transport and insulin sensitivity using knock-down and over-expression approaches in primary human skeletal muscle cells. Promising candidates will be further validated in in vivo models of type 2 diabetes through electroporation approaches.

About The Karolinska Institute, Sweden – Official Website
The Karolinska Institute sometimes known as the (Royal) Caroline Institute in English is a research-led medical university in Solna within the Stockholm urban area of Sweden. The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute awards the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The assembly consists of fifty professors from various medical disciplines at the university. The current rector of Karolinska Institute is Ole Petter Ottersen, who took office in August 2017.
The Karolinska Institute was founded in 1810 on the island of Kungsholmen on the west side of Stockholm; the main campus was relocated decades later to Solna, just outside Stockholm. A second campus was established more recently in Flemingsberg, Huddinge, south of Stockholm.
The Karolinska Institute is Sweden’s third oldest medical school, after Uppsala University (founded in 1477) and Lund University (founded in 1666). It is one of Sweden’s largest centres for training and research, accounting for 30% of the medical training and more than 40% of all academic medical and life science research conducted in Sweden.
