Maximilian Kleinert

Maximilian Kleinert serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports at the University of Copenhagen, specifically within The August Krogh Section for Molecular Physiology. His research integrates molecular physiology with nutritional science to address metabolic health challenges.

His primary research interests focus on metabolism, nutritional biochemistry, and exercise physiology, with particular emphasis on medium-chain fatty acids, skeletal muscle substrate utilization, and hormonal regulation. Current investigations explore how dietary interventions influence metabolic pathways in obesity and exercise contexts, utilizing both human and molecular models.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong thematic focus on medium-chain triglycerides and their metabolic effects, hepatic fat regulation through CREBH-FGF21 signaling, and innovative dairy processing techniques to enhance metabolic health outcomes. His work bridges fundamental molecular mechanisms with translational nutritional applications.

Kleinert actively collaborates across international research networks, with publications appearing in high-impact journals including Nature Communications, American Journal of Physiology, and Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism. His research group within The August Krogh Section employs advanced methodologies in molecular physiology and nutritional interventions to address metabolic disorders.
