Research area

Clinical pathology spands a wide area and covers any molecular marker i diferent types of biological material in the living animal. Our lab, VETLAB (https://vetdiagnostik.ku.dk/) supports both the two University Veterinary Hospitals with diagnostic analyses, but also clinical practices in Denmark, internal and external research units, and zoos in Denmark.

My own research fields cover:

• Identification of minimally invasive biomarkers for (early) disease detection in dogs and cats.
• Validation of novel diagnostic and prognostic clinical biomarkers in a range of species
• Pathophysiological connection between haemostasis and inflammation in chronic medical and oncological conditions

Teaching 

I have taught  pre- and post graduates since 2002. Currently I teach Veterinary students in their 4th to 6th year, I give courses for veterinarians in clinical practice and lectures both nationally and internationally.

Conflict of interest

The Veterinary Diagnostic laboratory perform analyses upon request for a range of biotech companies, clinical practices, zoological parcs and other universities.

As a researcher myself, within the last 5 years, I have had:

A formalised research collaboration with Eiken A/S, Japan and RefLab ApS, Denmark.

Speaker engagement with VETgruppen, IDEXX, Elanco (Denmark), Evidensia (Sweden) and ECVIM.
