Overview

Anders Molven is affiliated with the University of Bergen in Norway and has produced a significant body of research primarily in the intersecting fields of medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their work spans several specialized subfields including surgery, genetics, molecular biology, endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism, and cell biology.

Their scholarly output heavily focuses on topics related to pancreatic function and diabetes, with numerous publications addressing diabetes and its associated disorders. Other main research areas include metabolism, diabetes and cancer, diabetes management and research, liver disease diagnosis and treatment, endoplasmic reticulum stress and disease, and hyperglycemia and glycemic control in critically ill and hospitalized patients.

Anders Molven's research has been published repeatedly in several key journals, including:

  • Pancreatology
  • Tidsskrift for Den norske legeforening
  • Diabetes
  • The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism
  • Journal of Biological Chemistry

Some of their recent notable publications are:

  • Genome-wide association meta-analyses combining multiple risk phenotypes provide insights into the genetic architecture of cutaneous melanoma susceptibility (2020, Nature Genetics)
  • Abnormal exocrine-endocrine cell cross-talk promotes β-cell dysfunction and loss in MODY8 (2022, Nature Metabolism)
  • C/EBPB-dependent adaptation to palmitic acid promotes tumor formation in hormone receptor negative breast cancer (2022, Nature Communications)
  • Germline ATM variants predispose to melanoma: a joint analysis across the GenoMEL and MelaNostrum consortia (2021, Genetics in Medicine)
  • Unsupervised Clustering of Missense Variants in HNF1A Using Multidimensional Functional Data Aids Clinical Interpretation (2020, The American Journal of Human Genetics)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Anders Molven include:

  • Karianne Fjeld
