Morten Hostrup

Short presentation

Morten Hostrup is Professor, MD, PhD, and human physiologist studying the adaptability and limits of the human body — from physical performance and pharmacology to metabolic health, muscle function, and anti-doping.

He leads a research group at the Department of Clinical Physiology and Nuclear Medicine, Bispebjerg-Frederiksberg Hospital, and is affiliated Professor at Stockholm University. The group combines advanced human experimental physiology with molecular and pharmacological approaches to study how exercise, pharmacological agents, and metabolic stress shape human physiology, metabolism, and performance.

Current projects explore new-generation therapeutics relevant to obesity, metabolic health, and muscle function — sometimes referred to as “exercise mimetics”.

Hostrup is author of more than 150 scientific articles and several popular science books on medicine, exercise, and nutrition. He is internationally recognized for his research in human performance, pharmacology, and anti-doping, and regularly communicates science to professional and public audiences.
