Anna Krook

Anna Krook is a Professor of Integrative Physiology at the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Karolinska Institutet, and chairs the Strategic Research Programme in Diabetes. Her research focuses on skeletal muscle metabolism, insulin action, and metabolic disease mechanisms. She holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge (UK) and has authored numerous publications in top journals.

Education: BSc (University of East Anglia), MSc (Queen's University), PhD (University of Cambridge).

Research interests include non-coding RNA regulation, transcriptional control of metabolism, and the effects of exercise and diabetes on muscle physiology. Key awards include the DPLU/LUDC Nordic Prize (2013).

Current grants include studies on genomic plasticity in insulin resistance and miRNA regulation of muscle metabolism. Her lab collaborates internationally on metabolic health and diabetes research.
