Daniel Hansen

Daniel Hansen is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Southern Denmark. He is affiliated with the ATLAS - Center for Functional Genomic Studies of Tissue Plasticity.

Education:

• MSc in Biomedicine

Research Interests: His work focuses on hepatic stellate cells, lipid metabolism, and their roles in metabolic dysfunction-associated liver diseases (e.g., NAFLD, NASH). He investigates mechanisms like plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein interactions, calcium-binding proteins, and adipogenesis pathways.

Publication Trends: Recent articles analyze stellate cell dynamics in obesity, liver fibrosis, and microvascular decay in NASH. Keywords include molecular biology, metabolism, and hepatology, with subfields spanning protein kinase CK2 targeting, pericyte signaling modules, and SPARC-related protein associations.

Labs & Teams: Active in the ATLAS center, collaborating on projects like Danmarks Grundforskningsfond’s DG Center for Functional Genomics and Tissue Plasticity (2017-2023) and Spatiotemporal Deconstruction of Microvascular Decay in NASH (2020-2023).
