Pernille Tveden-Nyborg

Pernille Tveden-Nyborg serves as Associate Professor in Experimental Pharmacology at the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen since 2013. Her academic journey includes Assistant Professor position (2007-2013) and PhD studies (2003-2006) within veterinary sciences at the same institution.

Her educational background comprises:

• Doctor of Medical Sciences (2022): 'A role of vitamin C in the young brain - effects of deficiency in a model of human hypovitaminosis C'
• PhD in Cell Biology (2006): 'Pre- and peri-implantation development in ruminants - some morphological and epigenetic aspects'
• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (2000)

Tveden-Nyborg's research centers on preclinical animal models with translational applications, particularly focusing on NAFLD/NASH progression to hepatic fibrosis and vitamin C's neurological impacts during development. Her current methodologies include guinea pig NAFLD modeling, pharmacological interventions, ex vivo liver slice culture systems, and vitamin C depletion/repletion studies. The publication record reveals strong emphasis on translational pharmacology, with recent work spanning CRISPR-engineered stem cells, imaging diagnostics, and vitamin C pharmacology.

As associate editor for 'Basic and Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology' and 'ACTA Vet Scandinavica', she contributes to scholarly communication. Her research collaborations include Lifepharm center, Novo Nordisk, Nordic Bioscience, and Chr. Hansen, reflecting industry-academic partnerships. Professional activities encompass editorial board service, PhD supervision workshops, and committee memberships including Institutrådet ved IVS (2015-2019).
