Werdegang

Berufserfahrung von João Duarte

  • Bis heute 10 Jahre und 8 Monate, seit Okt. 2013

    Researcher (FNS Ambizione fellow)

    Laboratory for Functional and Metabolic Imaging, EPFL

    Investigation of brain energy metabolism and non-invasive biomarkers in diabetic encephalopathy.

  • 5 Jahre, Okt. 2008 - Sep. 2013

    Researcher (Premier assistant)

    Dep. Radiology, Faculty of Biology and Medicine, University of Lausanne

    Enrolled in the study of energy metabolism in the rodent brain using in vivo 1H and 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) at high field, aiming at determining metabolic pathways that support glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission and discovering neurochemical markers of brain dysfunction upon acute hypoglycaemia and redox dysregulation.

    LIFMET, EPFL.

    Determination of glucose transport kinetics and neurochemical profiles in vivo in the hippocampus of diabetes rat models using 1H MRS. Implementation of 13C MRS sequences at 9.4 T for in vivo studies.

  • 4 Jahre, Okt. 2004 - Sep. 2008

    Graduate student

    Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Science and Technology, UC

    Biochemical modifications in the hippocampus underlying memory impairment in insulin-resistant and insulin-dependent animal models of diabetes. Neuroprotective strategies for prevention of diabetes-induced hippocampal alterations.
