Biography

Mirko Trajkovski is a distinguished researcher focusing on metabolic health, particularly the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic diseases such as obesity and insulin resistance. His laboratory investigates the roles of different types of fat in mammalian physiology, including brown and white adipose tissue and their regulation of whole-body homeostasis. The lab's cutting-edge research explores the concept of 'beige' cells, which are formed from subcutaneous white fat, and the mechanisms controlling their development and function in adult humans. Trajkovski's work delves into the intricate relationship between gut microbiota and metabolic health, emphasizing the microbiota's influence on energy balance and metabolism. His projects utilize advanced in vivo animal models, in vitro systems, and human patient cohorts to develop innovative treatment strategies for dyslipidemia, diabetes, and obesity. Through lineage tracing studies, he aims to enhance the understanding of how gut microbiota modulation can empower host responses to combat metabolic diseases, ultimately seeking to improve health outcomes.
