2024 EASO – Novo Nordisk Foundation New Investigator Award for Basic Science

A postdoctoral fellow at the University of Helsinki in Finland, has shed new light on obesity and weight loss mechanisms through her multidisciplinary research on tissue-specific insulin resistance phenotypes and mitochondrial metabolism in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. Her goal is to advance the development of science-based treatments for obesity by identifying molecular pathways that affect whole-body physiology in successful weight loss and in obesity in an aging population.
