Düsseldorf University Hospital (UKD) is the largest hospital in the state capital and one of the most important medical centers in North Rhine-Westphalia. The 9,300 employees at UKD and its subsi­diaries are committed to treating over 45,000 inpatients and 270,000 outpa­tients every year. The UKD stands for inter­na­tional excel­lence in patient care, research and teaching, as well as for innovative and safe diagno­stics, therapy and prevention. Patients benefit from the intensive inter­di­sci­plinary coope­ration between the 60 clinics and insti­tutes. The parti­cular strength of the University Hospital is the close integration of clinical and research work for the safe appli­cation of new methods. Tomorrow’s medicine is being created at the UKD. Every day.

A central aspect of the CARDDIAB research network is the inves­ti­gation of metabolic dysfunc­tions and their relati­onship with cardio­vas­cular diseases. To inves­tigate cardio­me­ta­bolic inter­ac­tions between the organs, high-throughput data are collected from dedicated cohorts. The aim is to gain insights into previously poorly understood cardio­me­ta­bolic aspects, parti­cu­larly in the develo­pment of diabetes. The research group “Algorithms of Cardio­me­ta­bolic Fluxomics” in the Department for Endocri­nology and Diabe­tology at the Medical Faculty develops compu­ta­tional methods for the analysis of multi­modal data (genome, transcriptome, epigenome, proteome, metabolome) and is looking for a highly motivated and talented
