Job Responsibilities
Diabetes is associated with devastating chronic complications including coronary herat disease and stroke as well as damage of small vessels of the kidney (nephropathy), eye (retinopathy) and peripheral nerves (neuropathy). Central to the development of these complications is endothelial cell dysfunction, which appears well before any clinical sign and is potentially reversible. This PhD project aims at determining the role of the transcription factor NFAT in the development of endothelial dysfunction and nephropathy.
