Biography

Wiebke Arlt is a Professor of Transdisciplinary Medicine at Imperial College London and serves as the Director of the MRC London Institute of Medical Science (LMS). Her research focuses on the role of steroids in human health and disease, specifically tissue-specific steroid activation and inactivation. She explores the links between androgen excess and metabolic disorders in both women and men through a transdisciplinary approach, utilizing human-based in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo methodologies combined with steroid mass spectrometry and computational techniques. Arlt is dedicated to transdisciplinary training, aspiring to integrate clinician scientist training with high-caliber fundamental discovery science. Throughout her career, she has held several prestigious positions, including leadership roles at the Institute of Metabolism and Systems Research at the University of Birmingham and was a recipient of multiple accolades recognizing her substantial contributions to endocrinology and medicine. Her impact work centers on understanding the effects of life course and sex differences on human metabolic diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome and type 2 diabetes, aiming to improve conditions that disproportionately affect women.
