Karin Hedin is a PhD student at Linköping University, specializing in Health, Medicine, and Caring Sciences. Her research focuses on metabolic alterations associated with liver diseases, particularly metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which affects approximately 30 percent of the global population. Hedin investigates the knowledge gaps in the complexities of human liver metabolism that manifest under altered disease conditions. Her goal is to identify potential biomarkers related to the development of hepatic fibrosis and to define clinical phenotypes that can help predict which patients are likely to face serious health complications due to MASLD. Through her research, she aims to enhance understanding of the mechanisms behind fibrotic development in these patients, as this remains a significant challenge for healthcare professionals worldwide. Karin has co-authored a publication in Nature Metabolism, which involves a study on metabolic flux analysis in intact human liver tissue ex vivo.
