Jonas Thue Treebak is an Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. His primary research areas focus on interrogating the signaling pathways that control cellular and whole-body glucose and lipid homeostasis using cell-based and animal models. He seeks to resolve the physiological roles of genes and proteins that regulate insulin action and adiposity by utilizing transgenic animals with mutant and wild-type forms of candidate genes and knockout deletions. His work includes developing in vitro and in vivo methods to assess the functional roles of novel targets involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and obesity. He conducts clinical and experimental studies aimed at identifying the underlying mechanisms and genotype/phenotype interactions that contribute to diabetes risk and its pathological development.
Focuses on clinical, social, and cognitive psychology.
