Kaspar Wredstrøm Persson

Kaspar Wredstrøm Persson is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, University of Copenhagen, working within the August Krogh Section for Molecular Physiology. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle metabolism and insulin signaling pathways.

His primary research interests include:

• Molecular regulation of skeletal muscle metabolism
• Role of reactive oxygen species in insulin action
• Mechanisms of insulin resistance development
• Exercise-induced metabolic adaptations
• mTOR signaling pathways in muscle physiology
• Mitochondrial function in metabolic diseases

Analysis of his recent publications (2021-2025) reveals a strong focus on the intersection of redox biology and metabolic regulation in skeletal muscle. His work frequently examines how reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial function, and exercise interventions affect insulin signaling pathways. Notably, several publications investigate the mTOR signaling pathway and its relationship with AMPK in regulating muscle metabolism. His research employs both human and mouse models, with particular emphasis on translational aspects relevant to type 2 diabetes and metabolic disorders.

Persson actively collaborates with leading researchers in the field including Jensen T.E., Richter E.A., and Wojtaszewski J.F.P. at the University of Copenhagen. His work has appeared in high-impact journals such as Science Advances, Redox Biology, and FASEB Journal, demonstrating significant contributions to understanding the molecular basis of metabolic diseases.
