Postdoc in stable isotope method to assess dietary protein quality at Wageningen University, Netherlands -PhD Biochemistry, genetics, cell biology -Apply

Description & Details:  This project, funded by the Dutch Dairy research foundation, aims to develop a meal/plasma signature dual stable isotope-based approach using intrinsic  labelled  proteins  for  the  non-invasive  evaluation  of  protein  digestibility,  amino  acid bioavailability and protein nutritional quality for humans.
For this purpose it is first necessary to define the digestive and metabolic behavior and distribution of the intrinsically-15Nlabelled reference protein and of the internal standard 13C-spirulina. This will be done by conducting an animal study (in close collaboration with the department of animal sciences) and a human study.
The postdoc is responsible for the progress of the project as a whole and for conducting the human study. Execution of the animal study will be done by the department of Animal Sciences.
