Sally Winther

Sally Winther is an academic researcher at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Biology, specializing in Cell Biology and Physiology. She obtained her Ph.D. from the same institution in 2017 with a thesis titled Brown adipocyte function: A study of signaling and fuel pathways. Her work is affiliated with the Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR).

Her research focuses on molecular mechanisms in metabolism, with emphasis on:

• Brown adipocyte biology and thermogenic regulation
• Metabolite signaling (succinate pathways)
• Energy expenditure and mitochondrial function
• Transcriptional control of metabolic genes
• Cellular stress responses in adipose tissue

Her publications (2018-2024) demonstrate consistent focus on adipocyte metabolism, with recent work exploring succinate transport mechanisms and RNA-level regulation of energy expenditure. Articles frequently appear in high-impact journals including Nature Metabolism and Cell Metabolism.

Dr. Winther collaborates with international teams (e.g., Harvard-affiliated researchers) and contributes to studies with significant citation impact (e.g., a 2018 Nature letter cited 425 times). She maintains an active research profile through the ORCID platform.
