Lecture: Energy Management for Metabolic Homeostasis: Key roles for metabolic master switch AMPK and the NAD+ biosynthesis system
Energy sensing systems are present in all cells of our body. They are important for transducing information on the energetic status of the cell to downstream effector pathways to ensure appropriate adaptation in response to metabolic stress. These energy sensing systems are intricately regulated by various signaling molecules in the form of nutrients and nucleotides.
In this lecture, Professor Kei Sakamoto and Associate Professor Jonas T. Treebak will present their work on understanding the roles of the AMP-activated protein kinase and the NAD+ biosynthesis system for management of cellular metabolic homeostasis, and how this may have implications for overall metabolic health of organisms, including humans.
Kei Sakamoto is Vice Executive Director, Professor and Group Leader at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research and Jonas Thue Treebak is Associate Professor and Group Leader at Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research.
Date and time: Thursday 19 May, 4:00pm CET
Venue: Tuborg Havnevej 19, 2900 Hellerup
The lecture is free and open to all. Available for both physical and online participation.
