We are seeking a highly motivated junior postdoctoral associate to conduct research in a starting project entitled: “Development of natural nutritional ingredients effective against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)”
The project is part of a collaborative proposal of the “WAGRALIM” pole funded by the Wallonia Region and led by “Ortis” company. The main aim of the project is to develop a natural solution (validated in vitro and in vivo in animal models) capable of preventing liver disorder (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver diseases or MASLD, the new name of NAFLD) and preventing or slowing its progression to advanced or even irreversible stages. This solution would contain plant extracts already well studied and used by the industrial partners, but for purposes other than MASLD, and/or unknown plant extracts not yet exploited by them, but for which pre-clinical and clinical trials reported in the literature have proved very encouraging. The mechanisms of action will be studied to propose more effective combinations of natural products.The project is part of a collaborative proposal of the “WAGRALIM” pole funded by the Wallonia Region and led by “Ortis” company.
