Short presentation

25 years of experience in clinical research conducted at Uppsala and Copenhagen universities as well as head (senior scientist, research manager and later assistant research director) of a research department at Orkla Foods AS, focused on nutrition and health (including brand building and marketing related to nutritional qualities and health).

Have been supervisor for 7 and co-supervisor for 5 PhD-students, supervised more than 30 Master students, is course responsible on the master programme in human nutrition. I have also been the responsible senior researcher in 7 clinical obesity drug trials and in several projects related to the effect of limited sleep, mental stress, physical activity, food structure, gastro-intestinal peptides and gastric by-pass surgery on regulation of appetite, body weight and energy metabolism. Main research areas are regulation of appetite, food intake, energy and substrate metabolism with special emphasis on the impact of physical exercise, stress as well as surgical and pharmaceutical treatment of obesity.

I am currently involved in the following research projects as the PI and/or leading investigator:

1. SATIN (SATiety INnovation) – WP-leader in EU-funded project (FP7)

2. Governing Obesity (WP leader in WP4 – GO-Bypass)                                           

3. STRUCSAT (How structure affects satiety) WP-leader in project funded by The Danish Council for Strategic Research 

4. SEPA (Hydrolyserede Svineproteiners Effekt på Proteinsyntese og Appetit)

5. LEAF – A PhD-project in collaboration with prof S Skovby (SUND/KU) and ass prof Å Segerström (Lund Univ). Low Energy Availability in Female Elite Endurance Athletes – Metabolic Adaptations and Consequences for Health and Performance.
