The researcher will work in these research fields, both in terms of basic and applied research, He/she will specifically pursue: a) integrative aspects between the organs and systems involved; b) molecular and cellular aspects, possibly also on animal models; c) identification of biomarkers of impairment, along the pathway for O2 from ambient air to the mitochondria of skeletal muscles, to be ideally utilized on patients for their functional evaluation and for the implementation of preventive, therapeutical or rehabilitative approaches.
Within the Exercise Physiology Laboratory of the Department several projects are ongoing, mainly financed by the Italian Ministry of Research: PRIN 2020: “Inactivity-induced neuromuscular impairment through different ages: from children, to young and middle age adults [InactivAge]”. PRIN 2022: “Long-COVID syndrome: pathophysiology of the impaired exercise tolerance”. PRIN 2022 PNRR: “Central (cardiorespiratory) and peripheral (muscular) determinants of functional deterioration in COPD: new biomarkers for evaluating disease severity and acute exacerbations?”.RequirementsAdditional InformationWork Location(s)Number of offers available 1 Company/Institute Università degli Studi di Udine Country Italy State/Province UD City udine Postal Code 33050 Street via palladio 8 GeofieldWhere to apply WebsiteContact State/ProvinceUD Cityudine WebsiteStreetvia palladio 8 Postal Code33050 E-Mailconcorsidoc@uniud.itSTATUS: EXPIRED
