Multi-system effects of Very Low Calorie Dietary (VLCD) in type two diabetes (T2d) in TWO different populations

该项目旨在研究治疗2型糖尿病的新方法。最初，它将涉及开发新的MRI和MR光谱方法，用于生理和代谢的多器官评估。随后将涉及协调一项关于极低热量饮食对来自高加索和南亚族裔群体的2型糖尿病患者的影响的实验研究（预计这些人的反应不同）。这将涉及制定实验方案，监督数据的获取，分析数据和提出结果。它将适合对实验和数值方法感兴趣的物理学家，以及将其科学方法应用于生物医学领域的热情。该项目将提供重要的新信息，说明治疗2型糖尿病的潜在新方法的有效性，适用于亚洲人和高加索人

This project aims to investigate new methods of treating type 2 diabetes. Initially it will involve developing new MRI and MR spectroscopy methods for multi-organ assessment of physiology and metabolism. It will subsequently involve coordinating an experimental study of the effect of a very low calorie diet on type 2 diabetes patients from Caucasian and South Asian ethnic groups (who are expected to respond differently). This will involve setting up the experimental protocol, overseeing the acquisition of data, analysing the data and presenting the results. It will suit a physicist who has an interest in experimental and numerical approaches, and an enthusiasm to apply their scientific approach in the area of biomedicine. This project will provide important new information on the effectiveness of potential new approaches to treating type 2 diabetes, for both Asian and Caucasian ethnic groups
