Peter Jakobsgaard

Peter Jakobsgaard is an active academic researcher affiliated with the University of Southern Denmark, specifically the Faculty of Science and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. He is also associated with the ATLAS - Center for Functional Genomic Studies of Tissue Plasticity, focusing on metabolism and tissue plasticity.

His research interests lie in steatohepatitis, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, and the role of hepatic stellate cells and pericytes in liver metabolism. His work integrates functional genomics and metabolic pathway analysis, with recent studies on lipid utilization and single-cell signaling in murine models of liver disease.

Jakobsgaard has contributed to 2 peer-reviewed journal articles (2025, 2024) and a PhD thesis (2025) exploring liver cell plasticity and metabolic regulation. His research has garnered significant attention, including citations, media coverage, and social media engagement. He collaborates extensively within functional genomics and metabolism networks.
