Dr. Klaske van Norren is an Associate Professor in Nutritional Biology at Wageningen University. Her research focuses on cancer cachexia, immune modulation via dietary components, and the interplay between exercise, nutrition, and inflammation. She leads projects investigating tumor-induced muscle wasting, nutritional interventions for pulmonary hypertension, and the effects of bioactive compounds (e.g., β-glucan, arabinoxylan) on immune resilience. She co-supervised six PhD candidates, including studies on fatigue, cachexia, and intestinal permeability. Her work integrates mouse models, cellular co-cultures, and clinical datasets to explore mechanisms linking nutrition, immunity, and chronic disease. Key research themes: Cancer cachexia, trained immunity, exercise immunology, dietary fiber effects Publications span immunology, nutrition, and oncology journals Collaborations include studies on cytokine signaling, hypothalamic inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction in muscle wasting
