Danish Diabetes and Endocrine Academy Awards PhD Scholarships with Danish Cardiovascular Academy
Posted on 12.06.2024
We are excited to announce three new PhD scholarships awarded in partnership with Danish Cardiovascular Academy (DCA). These scholarships support interdisciplinary research to improve health outcomes for individuals with diabetes and classical endocrine disorders and cardiovascular disease.
“Transdisciplinary research is crucial for advancing our understanding and treatment of complex health issues,” says Tore Christiansen, Managing Director of Danish Diabetes and Endocrine Academy (DDEA) . “By integrating knowledge from cardiovascular research and research within diabetes and classical endocrinology, we can develop even more comprehensive and effective approaches to prevention, treatment and care.”
The aim of both academies is to support early-career researchers through grants, education and networking activities.
“Supporting early-career researchers is essential for discovering new solutions that will benefit individuals with hormone-related and cardiovascular disorders.Our cross-academy partnership elevates our research efforts by combining our expertise and resources,” says Executive Managing Director of DCA, Christian Aalkjær.
Welcome to Our Three Cross-Academy Grant Recipients
University of Southern Denmark, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
MSc Jasmin Jensen will investigate how the protein called PLVAP contributes to the weakening of blood vessel walls in abdominal aortic aneurysms. By studying PLVAP’s role, she hopes to uncover new ways to prevent or treat aneurysms.
Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, Department of Clinical Biochemistry
MD Karen Hvid will examine the role of remnant cholesterol in heart disease risk for people with type 2 diabetes who are already on medication used to lower cholesterol levels. Her research aims to find better ways to reduce heart disease risk in these patients.
University of Copenhagen, Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research
MSc María Lado will study how to improve the accuracy of diabetes and heart disease risk assessments by considering differences in body composition and fat distribution. Her research could lead to more personalised and effective preventive strategies for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
