Summary
Clemens Wittenbecher is an assistant professor in precision medicine and diagnostics based in Gothenburg, combining eight years of research experience in nutrition epidemiology, metabolomics, and bioinformatics to prevent cardiometabolic disease through precision nutrition. He links diet-induced metabolic changes to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk using large cohort and dietary intervention data, applying causal inference, mediation analysis, network modelling, and machine learning. Trained at DIfE and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, he develops biomarker panels and -omics-based effect modifiers to enable tailored diet and lifestyle interventions for vulnerable populations. Beyond academia, Clemens’ background spans hands-on metabolomics (GC‑MS) and community-focused roles teaching movement and martial arts, reflecting a practical, interdisciplinary approach to health research.
