Her research interests span nutritional biochemistry, adipose tissue biology, gut microbiota, and marine food nutrition. She investigates how dietary interventions influence obesity, insulin resistance, and lipid metabolism, with a particular emphasis on seafood-derived nutrients.

The most recent publications highlight trends in marine nutrition, metabolic disease prevention, and the interplay between diet and gut microbiome. Her work frequently involves interdisciplinary collaborations, especially with the Institute of Marine Research, focusing on food composition, contaminants, and health outcomes. She also contributes to public health through participation in dietary guideline assessments and risk-benefit analyses of seafood consumption.

Lise Madsen has supervised PhD students, including Kristin Røen Fauske, and has been involved in numerous research projects related to dietary impacts on metabolic health. While no specific awards are listed, her extensive publication record in high-impact journals underscores her significant contributions to nutritional science.

She leads and contributes to research on seafood safety, nutrient composition, and metabolic effects, often working within teams that include experts in toxicology, food chemistry, and clinical nutrition. Her work supports sustainable and healthy dietary recommendations, particularly regarding marine foods.
