Lars Klingenberg

Lars Klingenberg is a Teaching Professor in the Department of Science Education at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science. He holds a PhD in Human Nutrition and a Master's degree in Human Physiology, both from the University of Copenhagen.

His educational background includes:

• 2011: PhD degree in Human Nutrition, Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, University of Copenhagen
• 2008: Master of Science in Human Physiology, Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, University of Copenhagen

Klingenberg's research focuses on the intersection of nutrition, metabolism, and sleep science. His work particularly examines how dietary components affect metabolic outcomes, including insulin sensitivity, diet-induced thermogenesis, and cardio-metabolic risk factors. He has conducted studies comparing different protein sources, carbohydrate types, and dairy products to understand their impacts on human metabolism and appetite regulation. His research often employs acute randomized cross-over meal test designs with human participants.

His publication record shows a strong focus on systematic reviews and clinical nutrition studies, with key contributions spanning from 2013 to 2022. His work on sleep restriction and insulin sensitivity in adolescents has been particularly influential, receiving over 100 citations.

He has received recognition for his research, with several publications gaining attention in news outlets, social media platforms, and academic platforms like Mendeley.

He is actively involved in teaching at all levels (BA, master, and PhD), developing eLearning courses for the public, and implementing blended learning approaches. He also co-organized the Department of Science Education Annual Seminar in September 2022.
