Ellen Gammelmark Klinggaard

I have been a member of the research group of Susanne Mandrup since 2018, where I have been involved with work on transcriptional regulation in adipocytes during the development of obesity. 

I am currently employed as a PhD student as part of ATLAS funded by a PhD scholarship from the Danish Diabetes Academy. The overarching aim of my PhD project is to understand adipose tissue plasticity and crosstalk between cell types at single-cell resolution during regression of obesity. My work includes the use of mouse- and human model systems, and application of RNA- and ATAC-sequencing at bulk-  and single-cell resolution, in combination with several state of the art imaging techniques to obtain spatial information on the tissue architecture.
