Stener-Victorin Pic

Elisabet Stener-Victorin, PhD

Professor Elisabet Stener-Victorin is principle investigator of the research group  Reproductive Endocrinology and Metabolism  at the  Department of Physiology and Pharmacology  at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm Sweden.

Professor Stener-Victorin’s team, is interested in dissecting the genetic versus epigenetic heritability in the transmission of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and associated comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes and mental-health disorders across generations by dissecting the molecular, mechanistic, and causal links, and to determine whether men can also transmit the disease. We use different PCOS-like mice models to delineate the main trigger of PCOS and define whether germ cells drive the transmission of the syndrome in the absence of PCOS-associated gene variants. Moreover, we translate our findings in mice to the clinical situation and perform detailed phenotyping of women with and without PCOS and collect serum/blood and endometrium, fat and skeletal muscle tissue biopsies and investigate the effect of different treatments.

She is a well-known international researcher within the field of PCOS and has published over 195 articles and has been invited speaker at many international conferences. She is involved in the update and expansion of the international Evidence-based guideline for the assessment and management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome starting 2022. She was a member of The Endocrine Society’s Scientific Statements Task Force writing a scientific statement on PCOS published in Endocrine Reviews 2015 and recently she was invited to write a review entitled ‘Epigenetic inheritance of polycystic ovary syndrome – challenges and opportunities for treatment’ for [ Nature Review Endocrinology , 2021]. She was president of the international organization Androgen Excess and PCOS Society (AEPCOS Society) 2018-2020.
