Biography

Malin Levin is a Professor in the Institute of Medicine at the University of Gothenburg. Her research focuses on lipid accumulation and storage in the heart, particularly examining the functions of lipid droplet-associated proteins and their relevance to intracellular lipid accumulation and mitochondrial function. Levin's work investigates how increased lipid content in the myocardium is linked to conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and myocardial ischemia, with a goal of identifying new molecular regulators that can improve heart function during ischemic events. Her lab utilizes human myocardial biopsies to explore chronic ischemia's effects on lipid metabolism and cellular dysfunction. Levin's team has published extensively on lipid metabolism, heart function, and related topics, contributing significantly to advancements in cardiovascular research.
