Mathias Flensted-Jensen

Mathias Flensted-Jensen serves as a PhD fellow in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, focusing on exercise physiology and metabolic health. His research intersects aging, mitochondrial function, and inflammation, with active collaborations across European institutions.

His primary research interests center on exercise interventions for aging populations, mitochondrial adaptations to physical activity, and metabolic consequences of obesity and NASH. Current work examines how resistance training combined with polyphenol supplementation impacts physical function in elderly subjects, while prior studies quantify mitochondrial efficiency changes during simulated exercise conditions.

Analysis of his six recent publications reveals consistent focus on human physiological responses to exercise (4/6 articles), mitochondrial bioenergetics (5/6), and age-related metabolic decline (3/6). Methodologically, his work combines in vivo human trials with molecular analysis of tissue samples, frequently using adipose and muscle biopsies.

Scientific collaborations prominently feature S. Larsen (senior author on 4 papers), F. Dela (3 papers), and A.S. Kleis-Olsen (3 papers), indicating stable research partnerships within Copenhagen's biomedical ecosystem.

His laboratory work operates within the Exercise and Muscle research group at Blegdamsvej 3B campus, utilizing advanced respirometry systems for mitochondrial analysis and clinical assessment protocols for human subjects. Current projects extend into geriatric exercise interventions with anticipated 2025 publication of aging-related findings.
