معرفی
Ramon Langen is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences of Maastricht University, specializing in Pulmonology within the NUTRIM Institute for Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism. His research focuses on metabolic and physiological aspects of chronic respiratory diseases and cancer-related muscle wasting.
- Affiliated with NUTRIM: Institute of Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism
- Active in Healthy Ageing research initiatives
Research Interests: Langen's work explores the intersection of pulmonary diseases, muscle physiology, and nutritional interventions. Key areas include:
- Cachexia and sarcopenia in lung cancer patients
- Skeletal muscle weakness in COPD
- N-3 fatty acid supplementation in cancer therapy
- Muscle fiber capillary distance in respiratory diseases
- Translational metabolism research
Recent Publications: His studies demonstrate increasing focus on combining nutritional strategies with conventional therapies. Notable trends include:
- 2025 work on fish oil enhancing radiotherapy + anti-PD-L1 outcomes
- 2024-2025 investigations into cachexia mechanisms in NSCLC
- Repeated emphasis on muscle dysfunction across respiratory and oncological contexts
- Use of experimental models to test nutritional interventions
- Collaborative approach with translational research teams
Affiliations: Langen operates within a multidisciplinary framework at Maastricht University, connecting pulmonology with metabolic research through NUTRIM. His work spans basic science, clinical applications, and public health perspectives.
