8. PhD Programs in cellular and molecular signatures for forensic age assessment of granulations tissue
Summary of PhD Positions:
The PhD fellowship is part of the research project Forensic age assessment of porcine granulation tissue funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.

However, the age assessment of granulation tissue formation both at the time of initiation and later is based on incomplete scientific evidence.
The overall goal is to apply cutting-edge technologies to develop new and objective methods to obtain accurate age assessment of granulation tissue in forensic assessments. The PhD fellowship will be focused on discovering molecular signatures for age assessment of granulation tissue using mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to measure proteins and mRNA biomarkers in granulation tissue.

21. PhD Programs in Neuro-Medicinal Chemistry
Summary of PhD Positions:
The aim of this PhD project is to discover the first selective tool compounds for studies of the physiological role and functions of GluD1 and GluD2 Delta receptor subtypes in vitro and in vivo (animals).
