We are looking for a student in the Amirim program / M.Sc. student / Ph.D. student, for research in the field of endocrinology and metabolic diseases related to obesity in dogs and cats. The study will include clinical trials in various diseases: including fatty liver in cats, hypothyroidism in dogs, and diabetes in dogs and cats. The aim of the study is to evaluate the presence of metabolic changes, including changes in the secretion of hormones secreted from adipose tissue (adipokines), their role in the pathogenesis of the disease, and its potential use in its treatment. In the study, we will use primary adipose tissue culture, and examine the use of liver tissue organoids.
