Biography

Kristian Almstrup is an Associate Professor and Senior Scientist at the University of Copenhagen, focusing on Medical Genetics. His research primarily examines genetic and epigenetic variations that influence reproductive endpoints, including testicular gene expression and the functional studies of sperm cells. The Almstrup group conducts important studies on human reproduction and andrology. Specific research interests include genetic variants linked to non-obstructive azoospermia and testicular germ cell cancer. He has also shown an interest in small RNAs, such as microRNAs and PIWI-interacting RNAs, which are critical to spermatogenesis. The group has developed novel single-cell and spatial transcriptomics methods to analyze gene expression in testicular tissue, providing insights into male fertility and possible impacts of environmental chemicals on sperm cell function. Almstrup actively teaches courses on Medical Genetics and has contributed to various research journals and conferences, promoting advancements in reproductive genetics.
