The Center for Adipocyte Signaling - ADIPOSIGN is a new center established for a six-year period through a major grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. It is shared endeavor between The University of Southern Denmark (糖果派对), MRC LMB, Cambridge, UK and The University of Copenhagen, DK.
The goal is to understand how the signaling states of adipocytes depend on depot, gender and genetic variation, and how changes in these signaling states during development of obesity contribute to the pathophysiological consequences of obesity.
The center involves the following PIs:
Susanne Mandrup, Professor, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark (Director)
, Professor, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark
, Program leader, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK
, Associate Professor, Center for Basic Metabolic Research, University of Copenhagen
ADIPOSIGN is associated with ATLAS supported by a center of excellence grant from the and directed by Prof. Susanne Mandrup.
