Nicolaj Ibsgaard Toft

Nicolaj Ibsgaard Toft is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Science, University of Southern Denmark. He is affiliated with the ATLAS - Center for Functional Genomic Studies of Tissue Plasticity and holds an ORCID identifier (0000-0002-6885-6388).

His research focuses on:

• Chromatin accessibility dynamics in hepatic tissues
• Transcription factor regulation of gene expression
• Metabolic disease mechanisms in NAFLD
• Tissue plasticity through functional genomic studies
• Hepatocyte and hepatic stellate cell biology

Recent work demonstrates expertise in spatial-temporal chromatin landscape analysis using advanced genomic techniques. Publications reveal strong methodology development in chromatin accessibility quantification and cell-type resolved cis-regulatory genome mapping, with applications in liver metabolism and disease pathology. His research integrates molecular biology, epigenetics, and computational genomics to address fundamental questions in tissue plasticity.

Dr. Toft completed his PhD in 2024 with a dissertation on hepatic chromatin regulation and has contributed to high-impact publications in Cells and STAR Protocols. His work shows significant community engagement with multiple downloads and reader metrics across platforms.
