Molecular Physiology
Research profile
Understanding the complex processes in the body that regulate energy metabolism, molecular signalling, vascular perfusion and gene expression in muscle in relation to physical activity and health.
We study these processes from the molecular level to intact human organisms to obtain an
understanding of the integrated physiology of the human body with focus on muscle, exercise and metabolism, in particular insulin action in health and disease (type 2 diabetes).
