Leverforskning vinder årets ph.d.-cup
Syv veloplagte ph.d.-studerende dystede fredag eftermiddag i forskningsformidling. Johanne Kragh Hansen fra Klinisk Institut og FLASH – Center for Leverforskning løb med sejren.
Hun har undersøgt, hvad det bedste kosttilskud er til mennesker med kronisk leversygdom, hvor leversygdommen skyldes alkohol. Det er altså ikke alkohol, der skal drikkes, men kosttilskud. Og det viser sig, at man faktisk kan bremse udviklingen af leversygdom ved konsekvent at drikke en form for såkaldt postbiotikum, som giver bedre vilkår til gode bakterier i tarmfloraen.
Dommerpanelet nævnte blandt andet, at Johanne Kragh Hansens præsentation bar præg af en god ro og et klart narrativ.
