Ellen Gammelmark Klinggaard

Ellen Gammelmark Klinggaard is a researcher at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark. She holds an MSc in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and is affiliated with the ATLAS - Center for Functional Genomic Studies of Tissue Plasticity. Her work focuses on adipose tissue plasticity, genomics, and metabolic disorders.

Her research interests include

• Adipose tissue biology
• Single-cell genomics
• Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
• Lipid metabolism
• Gene expression dynamics
• Cell-cell crosstalk in obesity

Recent publications highlight her expertise in single-cell resolution studies of adipose tissue regression post-obesity, bariatric surgery impacts on metabolism, and stellate cell roles in liver disease. She contributes to methodological advances like nuclear isolation protocols and explores diet-induced obesity plasticity.

She is actively involved in collaborative projects across immunology, biochemistry, and genomics, with a focus on comorbidities and cellular transcriptional dynamics. Her work appears in high-impact journals like Cell Metabolism and JHEP Reports, often addressing lipid metabolism and tissue remodeling.

She contributes to the ATLAS center's mission in functional genomics of tissue plasticity and collaborates internationally on topics like macrophage-adipocyte interactions and steatohepatitis.
