Dr. Sam Trammell is an Assistant Professor at the University of Copenhagen in the Department of Biomedical Sciences. His research focuses on a novel class of lipids known as n-acyl taurines (NATs), which are conjugates of fatty acids and taurine. His work involves metabolomics and the kinetics of NAT metabolism, demonstrating that NATs increase in concentration after dietary fish oil consumption, similar to bile acids. Dr. Trammell is also exploring the role of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) in lipid metabolism and macronutrient regulation. His interdisciplinary training includes a PhD in Genetics from the University of Iowa, where he studied under Prof. Charles Brenner, and a B.Sc. in Genetics from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. He has received notable academic awards, including the Marion Dave Francis Innovator Award and the University of Iowa Graduate Dean’s Distinguished Dissertation Prize for his research on NAD+ metabolomic technologies.
