DESCRIPTION:Prof. Susanne Mandrup\, University of Southern Denmark\, Odens
 e (DK)\nDISTINGUISHED LECTURE IN BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERINGAbstract:\nThe rese
 arch in the Mandrup Group focuses on understanding transcriptional network
 s regulating metabolism and stem cell development of mammalian cells. We a
 re specifically interested in the molecular cross-talk between transcripti
 onal regulation and metabolism in fat cells and the insulin-produing beta-
 cells in the pancreas\, and in the transcriptional network regulating fat 
 cell development. Fat cells and beta-cells play a central role in the etio
 logy of insulin resistance and type II diabetes\, and maintenance of prope
 r carbohydrate/lipid homeostasis in these cells are of outmost importance 
 for whole body physiology. The mechanisms of action and the gene regulator
 y programs initiated by members of the peroxisome proliferator activated r
 eceptor (PPAR) family and their associated co-factors are of particular in
 terest. In addition\, the Mandrup laboratory has a long-standing interest 
 in the acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP).\nBio: Susanne Mandrup has been Pro
 fessor at Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology\, University of
  Southern Denmark since 2008. She obtained her PhD in Biochemistry from Od
 ense University in 1992 and worked as a post doc among others in Prof. M. 
 Daniel Lane’s group\, Department of Biological Chemistry\, Johns Hopkins
  University\, Baltimore 1995-96. In 1996 she was recruited back to Odense 
 as Assistant Professor\, and in 1999 she was promoted to Associate Profess
 or.\nSusanne Mandrup received a Sapere Aude Advanced Grant in 2012 from th
 e Danish Independent Research Council and is heading several other large s
 cale research initiatives. She is one of the leading figures in the newly 
 established Danish Diabetes Academy and is involved in several other natio
 nal and international research consortia. She was member of the Danish Nat
 ural Science Research Council (2005 – 2010) and has since 2009 been memb
 er of The Medical and Natural Science Committee of the Novo Nordisk Founda
 tion. In addition\, she has served on several grant review panels under FP
 6 and FP7 and is currently member of the European Research Council panel f
 or Genetics\, Genomics\, Bioinformatics and Systems Biology\, from 2015 as
  Panel Chair for the Consolidator Panel.
