PhD student 🥼 at @AarhusUni 🇩🇰 working with how accumulation of #uremictoxins due to #chronickidneydisease cause #cardivasculardisease. Check out my webpage!

“Research institutions are under pressure, and misinformation is not just spreading - it is being rewarded” (Scott Steen).

Despite this, I had some fun days at the #aps2025 by @APSPhysiology

Also had the extra privilege to present my work at the conference 😊

Now I am home, looking forward to finalize projects with collaborators at @moma_dk, @matchkov at Department of Health, Unit of Nephrologi at @AUHdk. All to investigate the cardiovascular toxicity of #uremictoxins in patients with #CKD. #phdlife

📊Practice Makes Perf…, no, Better! 📊

Big thanks to @PhysSoc for the chance to hone my communication skills at #PhysInFocus2024! 💬

Halfway through my PhD and still as excited about research as day one. Can’t wait to see what the future brings. 👨‍🔬🥼🔬

@CasperHomilius @JAHA_AHA @jacob_seefeldt @BoedtkjerLab Really cool stuff, Casper! Huge congrats 💪

Adenine-induced kidney disease is a reversible mouse model. But how? Recovery is tightly associated with improved aquaporin function suggesting a direct role disease pathogenesis and recovery. @MDPIOpenAccess https://t.co/6TLv24vX40 #aquaporins

Had some amazing and inspiring days a bit out of my comfort zone at the Cardiometabolic summit - so extremely happy to win the Best Poster Award.

Thanks a lot to @DCAcademyDK for organising a succesfull summit!

🫀 🔬 👥 DCAcademy Cardiometabolic Summit at Gl. Avernæs 👥🔬🫀

More than 75 people just returned from an enlightening experience at the DCAcademy Cardiometabolic Summit held at the Sinatur Hotel at Gl. Avernæs.

Head over and read about the summit 👉 https://t.co/YdANTRcENG

@kaisar_maria Really interesting work, Maria - congratulations! 😊

@LiverQuant @AUHdk @GoesslingLab @jasmineatay @CamillaMerrild Drinking one of the tasty beers you brought and sending happy thoughts to Boston (from @CamillaMerrild, Sandra and myself) 🍻

[Søren Hejgaard Elsborg @soren_elsborg]

@LiverQuant @AUHdk @GoesslingLab @jasmineatay @CamillaMerrild A true pleasure meeting you! Hope to be seeing more to you in the future 🧬🥼

Hopefully, this can people choosing the correct duration of adenine-treatment in mice for the future.

Metabolic profiling is tricky!
Not only is precise identification a difficult process (unlike protein profiling) but the analysis and interpretation of the results is often overwhelming. #CardioSoMe23

[Søren Hejgaard Elsborg @soren_elsborg]

So far, I have scratched the surface making a metabolic profiling of plasma and urine from adenine-treated mice for 2 and 4 weeks. I found a time-dependent shift in the type of metabolite that was upregulated in both urine and plasma from 2 to 4 weeks.

@WeyerKathrin @Kidney_Int @SandraHummelga1 @AarhusUni @AUHdk Congratulations for a really thorough and compelling paper!
