About this position

This doctoral project at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences focuses on equine internal medicine and the treatment of insulin dysregulation in horses. The research is centered on laminitis, a serious equine disease often associated with elevated insulin concentrations in the blood, and investigates how SGLT2 inhibitors influence glucose and lipid metabolism.

The project also evaluates whether this drug treatment can speed recovery in horses with acute laminitis caused by hyperinsulinemia. The research includes randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies, combining clinical investigation with laboratory work, data handling, and statistical analysis.

The doctoral student will work with horse owners and clinics, take part in clinical studies, and be involved in practical horse handling. The work may also include clinical equine care at the university animal hospital and a limited amount of teaching. The project is hosted by the Department of Clinical Sciences, within the doctoral subject Veterinary Medical Science, at SLU in Uppsala.

This position is aimed at a candidate who wants to contribute to improved horse health and welfare through clinically relevant research.
