Kaja Plucinska

Kaja Plucinska is an active PhD international researcher at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, working within the Emanuelli Group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR). Her research focuses on adipose tissue biology, thermogenesis, and metabolic disorders, with particular emphasis on obesity-related mechanisms.

Her research interests span adipose tissue biology, thermogenesis, metabolic disorders, obesity research, molecular endocrinology, neurodegeneration, and brown adipose tissue. Dr. Plucinska's work primarily investigates how adipose tissue responds to environmental and dietary challenges, with special attention to molecular mechanisms regulating thermogenesis and metabolic homeostasis.

Analysis of her publication record reveals a strong focus on adipose tissue remodeling, particularly the browning process in white adipose tissue, temperature-dependent regulation of adipocyte function, and the intersection between metabolic and cognitive disorders. Her research employs sophisticated mouse models to investigate molecular pathways involved in obesity and related metabolic complications.

With 18 total research outputs including 16 journal articles, 1 comment/debate piece, and 1 editorial, Dr. Plucinska demonstrates consistent research productivity. Her work has garnered attention across multiple platforms with mentions on X (formerly Twitter), Mendeley readership, news outlets, and peer review sites.

Dr. Plucinska maintains active research collaborations both within the University of Copenhagen and internationally, as evidenced by her co-authorship patterns across multiple publications and the geographical collaboration map associated with her work.
