Symposia Speakers

Stefan Trapp is Professor of Autonomic Neuroscience and Metabolic disease at UCL, UK, and heads the UCL Centre for Cardiovascular and Metabolic Neuroscience. After his PhD at the University of Göttingen, Germany, Stefan relocated to the University of Oxford followed by Imperial College London with seminal work on brainstem glucosensing before settling at UCL. For the past decade his work focussed on the brain circuitry controlling energy balance. He has spearheaded the investigation of brain-produced GLP-1 and its role in the regulation of food intake. A core interest of his research group is to unravel the physiology that underpins the clinical success of GLP-1-based therapies in metabolic disease and beyond.
