Scientific work

Research activities have been devoted to several aspects of nutrition and

physiology. Major activities have concerned energy and protein

metabolism in different animal species and humans. These include energy

and nutrient metabolism under different genetic and environmental

2

conditions, during growth, reproduction and lactation; Evaluation of

energy and protein utilization and requirements; Feed evaluation;

Mathematical models of nutrient and energy metabolism; Substrate

oxidation and utilization for gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis and protein

turnover; Metabolic programming; Application of nanotechnology in

nutrition and tumour therapy. Investigations have been performed at

cellular, tissue and whole body levels, both in vitro and in vivo. Major

methods have been nutrient and energy balances, indirect calorimetry,

stable isotopes, and histological, microscopic, immunological and

molecular techniques.

Supervision

I have supervised 40 master students, 20 PhD and postdoc students and

co-supervised numerous Phd and postdocs. At present I supervise three

PhDs and co-supervise five PhDs and postdocs.

Managing experience

Head of Division of Physiology and Nutrition (35 employees).

Leader of Centre of Experimental Nutrition and Physiology with the main

objective to strengthen the quality of research and education within the

field by optimizing utilization of collective resources and qualifications

between University of Copenhagen and Aarhus University and associated

foreign partners. Leader of the Instrument Centre for Indirect Calorimetry

and Stable Isotopes. Leader of Postgraduate Programme in Veterinary

and Animal Sciences, at present 45 PhD students. Coordinator of several

national and international research projects. Member of expert panels for

evaluation of research projects by Danish, Swedish, Norwegian Research

Councils and European Commission for Food Safety. Evaluator of research

project from Belgium, Israel, Sweden, South Africa, Poland, Ireland,

Kazakhstan, Qatar and Russia.
