Thesis topic proposal

Analyzing effects of mutations in TCA cycle genes causing oncometabolite accumulation using worm models

THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL

Institute: Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest
biology
Doctoral School of Biology

Thesis supervisor: Krisztina Vellainé Takács
Location of studies (in Hungarian): ELTE TTK, Dept. of Biological Anthropology
Abbreviation of location of studies: ELTE

Description of the research topic:

Oncometabolites are aberrantly accumulated small molecules derived from disrupted TCA cycle in several cancers, including glioma, leukemia, neuroendocrine tumors and renal cancer. The candidate will work with nematodes carrying clinically relevant mutations in different TCA cycle-related genes and will analyze the effects of the accumulating metabolites exerted on metabolism and signal transduction by using worm models.

Required language skills: English
