Richard Sprenger

Richard Sprenger is an academic staff member at the University of Southern Denmark, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. He holds a PhD in Medical Biochemistry and specializes in Biomedical Mass Spectrometry and Systems Biology. He is affiliated with the Medical Biology program and is actively involved in lipidomics and proteomics research.

Education:

• PhD in Medical Biochemistry
• Medical Biology (Academic Qualification)

Research Interests:

Richard Sprenger’s research spans several interdisciplinary areas, with a strong focus on lipidomics and mass spectrometry-based proteomics. His work includes:

• Lipidomics: Comprehensive profiling of lipids in biological systems, including brain lipidomics and metabolic lipidomics.
• Mass Spectrometry: Development and application of advanced MS techniques for lipid and protein analysis.
• Cell Biology: Study of membrane proteins, lipid rafts, and cellular signaling.
• Neuroscience: Investigating lipid changes in brain development, aging, and neurodegeneration.
• Nutrition & Metabolism: Exploring dietary lipid interventions and their systemic effects.

Research Trends:

His recent publications (2021–2025) highlight a clear trend toward lipid-centric systems biology, combining mass spectrometry with nutritional interventions and neurodevelopmental models. A recurring theme is the use of animal models (rats, piglets) to study lipid metabolism and its impact on cognition, brain structure, and metabolic health.
