Jonas Sørensen serves as a Guest Researcher at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, focusing on molecular metabolism in cancer and ageing contexts. His research integrates cancer biology, metabolic dysregulation, and clinical palliative care, with specific emphasis on insulin resistance mechanisms in oncology and cachexia management strategies. This interdisciplinary work bridges laboratory-based cancer metabolism studies with translational clinical applications for ageing cancer patients. His 2023 publications demonstrate methodological diversity—combining systematic reviews with clinical guideline development—while maintaining thematic consistency in cancer metabolism complications. Both articles address critical gaps in oncology care, with the insulin resistance study providing epidemiological insights and the cachexia paper offering practical clinical tools. He operates within the 'Molecular Metabolism in Cancer and Ageing' research group at the University of Copenhagen, contributing to the institution's biomedical oncology portfolio through active international collaborations evident in co-author networks.

Jonas Thue Treebak is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, where he leads the Treebak Group focused on metabolic research. His work investigates the signaling pathways controlling cellular and whole body glucose and lipid homeostasis using cell-based and animal models. Dr. Treebak's primary research interests include: Metabolic regulation of glucose and lipid homeostasis Insulin signaling pathways and adiposity regulation Type 2 diabetes and obesity pathogenesis Transgenic animal models for metabolic research Circadian regulation of metabolism $$\text{NAD}^+$$ metabolism and its role in cellular function His recent research has explored the intersection of exercise timing, circadian biology, and metabolic health, with significant contributions to understanding how time-of-day affects metabolic responses to physical activity and nutrition. His work has been featured in high-impact journals including Nature Aging, PNAS, and Cell Reports Medicine. Dr. Treebak has published extensively with 148 research outputs including 121 journal articles, 7 reviews, and other scholarly contributions. His research has garnered significant attention, being picked up by numerous news outlets, blogged about, and referenced across social media platforms including X (formerly Twitter), Bluesky, and Facebook.
