Curriculum Vitae

Diploma in Nutritional Science at the University of Hohenheim

PhD at the Institute of Biological Chemistry and Nutritional Science at the University of Hohenheim (Prof. Jürgen Frank/Prof. Hans Konrad Biesalski) entitled “Role of reactive oxygen species in anti-cancer treatment: investigations into 2-methoxyestradiol chemotherapy and 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy combined with hyperthermia”

Since completing her PhD, research assistant at the Institute of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Hohenheim in the areas of teaching, research and academic administration

Freelancer at day-med-concept GmbH, Berlin (ended):

  • Development of web-based applications in the field of nutrition/health

Freelancer at GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare GmbH & Co.KG (ended):

  • Lecturer for pharmacist training courses in the field of micronutrients

Research interests:

Adipose tissue is a highly dynamic and heterogeneous organ whose cellular composition depends on several factors, including its anatomical location (e.g., subcutaneous, visceral, or epidural) as well as its fat mass, nutrient availability, and hormonal signals. Adipose tissue functions as an endocrine organ and produces numerous adipokines, including leptin, which play a key role in regulating metabolic processes and the development of diseases. Dr. Christine Lambert investigates these relationships, employing human adipose tissue samples and an in vitro model. In this model, primary human preadipocytes are differentiated into mature adipocytes. Under defined experimental conditions, morphological changes, gene and protein expression, and metabolic parameters such as oxygen uptake rate and glycolytic activity are analyzed. This methodological framework enables the systematic investigation of the effects of weight loss, (micro-)nutrient availability, and various diseases on the metabolic and morphological properties of adipocytes.
