The Steno Thursdays events aim to disseminate exciting diabetes research from clinical- and biomedicine to epidemiology. Most presentations are given by researchers affiliated to or collaborating with SDCA. We host Steno Thursdays Global once a month, featuring international diabetes experts.
There will be room for questions and discussions following every talk.
How often
Thursdays, 14:15-15:00 in Verdensrummet, Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus.
Thursday August 7th, 2025 – No meeting
Thursday August 14th, 2025 - GLOBAL
The Physiological Advantages of Active Brown Fat to Metabolic Health
Summary: Dr Mueez U-Din Mueez leads the Meta-Imageomics research group at the Turku PET Centre, where his team investigates the complexities of human metabolism using advanced medical imaging techniques, with a particular focus on adipose tissue. In this talk, he will explore how active brown fat contributes to metabolic health. The presentation will highlight recent human imaging studies and discuss the physiological potential of brown fat in addressing metabolic diseases.
Dr. Mueez U-Din, Adjunct Professor @ Turku University and Turku University Hospital (Finland)

Precision profiling of advanced CVD and CKM syndrome across the full age spectrum: lipidomics, immunophenotyping and clinical imaging
Summary: The CKM syndrome has recently emerged as a novel phenotyping strategy to identify individuals at greatest risk of adverse health outcomes. The underlying biology connecting excess adiposity, kidney damage, and cardiovascular disease remains poorly understood. Multiomic techniques can provide insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms of the CKM syndrome while advancing the development of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
Dr. Jairo A. Pinzon-Cortes, MD, MSc, PhD(c), Postdoc @ University of Washington, Seattle WA (USA) & Associate Research Fellow @ Diabetes Department, Monash University, Melbourne, Vic Australia.

Biomed lab. meetings are primarily based on laboratory methods and methodology development and its application in translational or clinical studies. The techniques are diverse and covers a spectrum from tissue signaling to subcellular analysis (e.g. Western Blot, immunostaining, single cell transcriptomics, Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting).
How often
Every second week
How to join
Everybody are welcome to join these meetings to discuss and expand the field and it doesn’t matter if you are new or experienced in laboratory research and related techniques. Topic and location is send to the Biomed lab. mail list. Please contact us to get on the list.

At these meetings, we discuss metabolism with a focus on experimental physiology and methods to quantify human metabolism (e.g. tracers, hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps, PET scans)
How often
Monthly (14:00-15:00 last Friday each month )
How to join
The meeting is for all researchers involved in studies of human metabolism. It is expected that all participants are active and contribute by presenting protocols, methods and data. Agenda and location is sent out through the META-LAB mailing list. Contact us to get on the list.
