Adam Rose

Dr. Adam Rose is an Associate Professor (Research) in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Monash University, affiliated with the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute. He leads the Nutrient Metabolism and Signaling Laboratory, focusing on adaptive/maladaptive metabolic mechanisms, particularly in obesity, diabetes, and metabolic diseases. His expertise includes systems approaches to study nutrient-hormonal signaling, stress pathways, and inter-organ communication. Dr. Rose has held academic roles since 2017 at Monash, following postdoctoral training at Copenhagen University and the German Cancer Research Center.

• Education: Exercise Science (Griffith University), PhD (Deakin University) with Prof. Mark Hargreaves.

Research interests span metabolic signaling nodes, stress pathways, and cross-organ metabolic coordination. Recent projects include glucagon pharmacotherapies for diabetes, liver-muscle crosstalk, and amino acid metabolism. Dr. Rose has secured grants and led initiatives like the NHMRC Equipment Grant for Myo-Technology instrumentation.

Research Outputs: Over 69 publications since 2001, with recent work on FGF21-driven metabolic regulation, intermittent fasting effects on NASH/HCC, and glucagon signaling. His studies bridge molecular mechanisms to translational therapies for metabolic diseases.

• Awards: FASEB SRC Poster/Presenter awards, Copenhagen Muscle Research Centre prizes, and Griffith University Academic Excellence recognition.

He supervises PhD/Master’s students and offers scholarships in metabolic physiology and molecular biology. Applications are accepted via adam.rose@monash.edu, requiring H1 honors and experimental backgrounds in relevant fields.
