Declaration of interest regarding PhD project in Neurology
The Department of Neurology, Department of Clinical Institute, SDU/Odense University Hospital and Neurobiology Research, Department of Molecular Medicine at SDU and are looking for applicants for a PhD scholarship within the field of Neurology. We are looking for a person with a relevant degree in Medicine (MD). Research environment In our laboratory we are studying cardiometabolic diseases (MetSy), such as stroke to try to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to impaired functional outcome. We have one main research objective, which is to study the neuro-inflammatory response that occurs following ischemic stroke with the aim of contributing to the development of novel therapies to improve outcome for stroke patients. We work closely with clinical translational research labs on neurovascular disease. This is a joint project with Dept. of Brain and Spinal Cord Injury, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, where part of the project will take place. Project description Ischemic stroke (IS) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Early reperfusion and admission for stroke unit care are imperative to improve the final clinical outcome. However, this re-establishment is only offered to approximately 20% of all patients in Denmark. The induced ischemia initiates a cascade of complex responses that may lead to chronic inflammation. In this project, we aim to pave the way for a paradigm shift in IS treatment, centered on the vision that active resolution of post-stroke inflammation and improved remyelination processes can be obtained by blocking detrimental and boosting pro-regenerative inflammatory processes. We will characterize the sex-specific effects of MetSy on post-ischemic stroke recovery in human ischemic stroke cases and help identify promising therapeutic compounds to improve functional outcomes in ischemic stroke cases with MetSy-related comorbidities. The PhD candidate is expected to work on investigating how sex-dependent low-grade systemic inflammation caused by MetSy affects neurological outcome in IS patients. This will be performed in clinical cohorts, using clinical and paraclinical data and performing analyses on sex-specific correlations between metabolic biomarkers in the blood and cognitive scores, as wells as between biomarkers and MRI evaluations of lesion size and edema formation.

Postdoctorate Fellowships in Machine Learning or Quantum Computing
The project is part of the larger research project “AI4NaturalFood”, in collaboration with the Department of Food Science, and the project is financed by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. Start date is 1 March 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The project is about developing machine learning (ML) methods that help to develop the food of the future. The successful candidate is expected to conduct basic research in ML and to contribute to the application of ML in the food science. Currently, plant ingredients are often refined to almost molecular purity - and then combined again to create structured foods. This isolation is resource intensive, and the removal of fibre and micronutrients can compromise the nutritional value. This can be mitigated by applying milder forms of processing that do not fully refine ingredients and leave some of the native structure of the plant material intact. These less refined ingredients however exhibit complex behaviour, and we therefore need machine learning to direct the experimental data generation that will be carried out by other team members in the project. Learning meaningful representation spaces that model the complex space of ingredients and their properties can be immensely useful. These representation spaces can be informed by multiple modalities of data, spanning time-series data, microscopy images, rheological measurements, and so on. Integrating these modalities into common representation spaces can help in the development of more sustainable food. Furthermore, incorporating active learning methods can steer new experimentation while incorporating adequate prior domain knowledge. Supervisors are Prof Remko Boom Remko.boom@food.ku.dk, Prof Christian Igel igel@di.ku.dk and Tenure-track Assistant Professor Raghavendra Selvan raghav@di.ku.dk.
