Consortium partner looking for HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-DISEASE-11: Understanding of sex and/or gender-specific mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases

Postdoctoral researcher CardioMetabolic diseases at University Medical Center Groningen

Groningen, Netherlands

About

We aim to contribute to a Horizon Europe consortium by investigating novel cellular pathways and protein networks that regulate cholesterol handling in a sex-dependent manner, which influences ASCVD outcomes. We emphasize discovery-driven research that integrates sex as a biological variable at the molecular and cellular levels. Within a collaborative framework, we seek to provide mechanistic insight, experimental or computational analysis, and interpretation of sex-disaggregated data, rather than leading or coordinating the project.

Expected role in the consortium

  • Work package partner focused on discovery and mechanistic research

  • Identification and analysis of sex-specific pathways and proteins within the liver-heart axis

  • Contribution to sex-disaggregated data generation and interpretation

Looking for Partners / Coordinators With

  • Leadership of Horizon Europe health projects

  • Focus on cardiovascular biology, lipid metabolism, and/or sex differences

  • Interest in sex- and gender-sensitive mechanistic research

Topic

  • DESTINATION 3: HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-DISEASE-11: Understanding of sex and/or gender-specific mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases: determinants, risk factors and pathways
  • DESTINATION 3: HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-DISEASE-15: Scaling up innovation in cardiovascular health
