Volker Lauschke

Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden is recruiting a PhD student for a project on proteomics and insulin resistance in metabolic disease . The doctoral project will investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying adipocyte insulin resistance and its reversal after bariatric surgery. The research combines mass spectrometry-based proteomics , deep plasma proteomics , metabolomics , multi-omics integration , bioinformatics , quantitative data analysis, and functional studies in human 3D adipocyte models. The work will be carried out in a collaborative environment with Prof. Mikael Rydén, Prof. Yihai Cao, Prof. Volker Lauschke, and their teams. Applicants should have a strong background in biomedicine, molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, metabolism, bioinformatics, or a related field. Experience in proteomics/metabolomics, quantitative data analysis, or metabolic research is especially valued. This is a PhD opening, not a scholarship announcement. The application deadline is 9 October 2026 . Interested candidates should apply via the linked online portal.
