Biography

Associate Professor in Type 1 diabetes pathophysiology at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Størling's research focuses on advancing the understanding of fundamental islet biology and the mechanisms causing beta-cell failure in Type 1 diabetes (T1D). His work involves exploring genetic risk factors, islet-immune dialogue, and pathways leading to beta-cell death, aiming to pave the way for future therapeutic options to prevent such destruction. He holds a PhD in Health Sciences from the University of Copenhagen and has significant experience leading research teams and securing funding for his projects. His scholarly endeavors contribute to functional genomics, inflammatory cytokines, and incretin biology, with an emphasis on hypothesis-driven, cross-disciplinary translational research that utilizes clinical samples and various models to understand the complexities of diabetes.
