Fredrik Karpe is a Professor of Metabolic Medicine at the Radcliffe Department of Medicine. He leads the Oxford Laboratory for Integrative Physiology and heads the Metabolic Research Group. His research focuses on human adipose tissue function and the metabolic consequences of obesity. With increasing rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes, he examines the intriguing epidemiological data that suggests opposite associations between the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease relative to upper and lower body obesity. His current research aims to clarify the protective role of gluteofemoral adipose tissue and the metabolically detrimental role of abdominal adipose tissue. By studying these tissues at cellular and whole-body levels, he seeks to uncover specialized features of gluteofemoral fat, potentially leading to new therapeutic approaches.
