Alkjær Group Our goal is to help people to maintain lifelong mobility and function; specifically to prevent onset and progression of musculoskeletal diseases/injuries - particularly of the knee. We use biomechanics to understand and…
Billestrup Group We use a number of in vitro and in vivo models systems to study the molecular and cellular basis for stimulation of beta cell growth and differentiation.
Desler Group In Desler Group we investigate aging at the molecular level and its link to age-related diseases. This is done using 2D and advanced 3D cell culture models alongside biopsies collected from human cohorts. Our goal is to…
Fritzen Group The main objective is to deepen our understanding of the molecular regulation of lipid metabolism. We are at the moment particularly interested in identifying molecular mechanisms behind health effects of lipids and…
Gasbjerg Group We aim to elucidate the molecular details of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) receptor function and regulation and translate our findings to biological function and the development of new therapies.
Grevengoed Group We focuse on determining biological functions of different fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids, and their metabolites in cardiometabolic disease. Our work spans biochemistry and physiology to understand the necessity and…
Hartmann Group We investigate the mechanism by which hormones secreted from the intestine affect bone remodelling. Using cell, animal and human studies, we increase our understanding of intestinal and bone physiology, and identify new…
Helge Group The key focus areas are adaptation to physical activity and inactivity and nutritional intake with a particular emphasis on maximal fat oxidation, ageing, gender, obesity and insulin resistance. The group has done a…
Holst Group In our group, we combine laboratory experiments with clinical studies in order to understand the functional challenges of obesity and diabetes, and to provide new principles for improved therapy of these conditions.
Jacobsen Group Research in the Vascular Modeling Laboratory is focused on integrative models of the microcirculation. We apply multiple-scale computational models to investigate basic mechanisms operating in the microcirculation in…
Jensen, Benjamin Group We dissect how dietary factors affect gut barrier integrity and host-microbe interactions at the onset, prevention, and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases.
Kissow Group Our main purpose of the group is to establish knowledge leading the way to improved treatment of patients suffering from intestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases or chemotherapy induced mucositis.
Larsen Group The Larsen group focus primarily on human integrative physiology in health and disease. Our main interest is on mitochondrial physiology and how this is affected with disease and by exercise training. We are looking at…
Peter Holst Group The group focuses on endogenous retroviruses from human and model organisms as key players in metabolic stress and the application of the immune to eliminate harmful cells expressing pathogenic genes of retroviral…
Stallknecht Group In Act4Life we develop, carry out and publish research elucidating the mechanisms behind the health-enhancing effects of physical activity. We also investigate how to best implement physical activity in daily life.
Sylow Group Our research focuses on delineating the molecular causes of muscle wasting and associated metabolic dysfunctions. We are trying to identify mechanisms that, at the molecular level, might regulate muscle mass, function,…
Torekov Group In The Clinical Translational Metabolism Group we have the overall goal of creating evidence of how to obtain healthy weight throughout life. Our vision is to implement this evidence to prevent obesity-related disease…
Xlab Group We focus on human integrative physiology, with special interest in energy expenditure, metabolism, and cardio-metabolic diseases.
