Carsten Carlberg (born December 13, 1963, married to Eunike Velleuer-Carlberg, since July 26, 2023) is a German biochemist. He is professor of nutrigenomics at the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Olsztyn, Poland.

Biography

[edit]

Carlberg was born in Hamburg, Germany. He attended school at Bremen, Germany, graduating in 1981 with Abitur at the Gymnasium an der Bördestrasse.[1] From 1982 to 1987, he studied Physics and Biochemistry at the Free University of Berlin, Germany, finishing with a diploma in biochemistry. Thereafter he worked in the team of Burghardt Wittig and in 1989 received his PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) for his studies on the interaction of polymerases with DNA secondary structures at the Free University of Berlin.

From 1989 to 1992, Carlberg was a post-doctoral fellow in the team of Willi Hunziker at the Central Research Units of Hoffmann-La Roche in Basel, Switzerland, and started his work on the gene regulation of Vitamin D. From 1992 to 1997, he worked in the Dermatology Department of Jean-Hilaire Saurat at the University of Geneva, where he continued his studies of gene regulation by nuclear receptors. In 1997, Carlberg received his Habilitation at the University of Düsseldorf, Germany, and was research group leader in the Department of Physiological Chemistry of Helmut Sies.

In 2000, Carlberg was appointed full professor of biochemistry[2] at the University of Kuopio, which in 2010 merged with the University of Joensuu to form the University of Eastern Finland. In 2006, he took a second affiliation at the University of Luxembourg, in order to create the Master program in Integrated Systems Biology there. He was later dismissed to protect the university’s reputation after the retraction of two papers co-written with a former student, Tatajana Degenhardt, from his group in Finland.[3] An Ad Hoc Ethical Committee found Ms. Degenhardt guilty of manipulating research data, resulting in the revocation of her doctoral degree. While no evidence of negligence or fraud was found against Carlberg, he was criticized for a lack of supervision over Ms. Degenhardt.[4] From 2008 to 2013 he was one of 4 principal investigators at the Finnish Center of Excellence in Cardiovascular Diseases and Type 2 Diabetes Research.[5]

Work and publications

[edit]

Carlberg's research is focused on epigenetics with special focus on Vitamin D.[2]

Over 250 of his publications[6] are listed in the Science Citation Index. These have been cited more than 12,000 times, according to ResearcherID. Carsten Carlberg's h-index is 61.

Carsten Carlberg published textbooks on "Nutrigenomics,",[7] "Mechanisms of Gene Regulation",[8] and "Human Epigenomics".[9]
