Maria Chondronikola

Maria Chondronikola is a researcher at the University of Cambridge's Institute of Metabolic Science. Her work focuses on human nutritional physiology and experimental medicine, with particular emphasis on metabolic function regulation, adipose tissue biology, and circadian rhythm impacts on health. She is involved in translational research and clinical studies that explore obesity-related metabolic complications and potential interventions.

Research Interests

• Adipose tissue function in health and disease
• Temporal distribution of caloric intake
• Mechanisms of insulin resistance and dyslipidemia
• Thermogenic adipocytes in human physiology

Publications span topics including brown adipose tissue dynamics, circadian metabolism, branched-chain amino acid clearance, and therapeutic approaches to obesity-related conditions. Her work frequently employs in vivo human studies and multi-omics approaches.
