Primary fields of research
Current research focuses on improvement of diagnosis and pharmacological management of diseases in internal medicine - in particular inflammatory bowel disease. In collaboration with national (Center for Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW) at Panum Institute as well as the Protein Kinase Signaling Group at BRIC, University of Copenhagen) and international research teams (Boston, Houston, Ottawa/Toronto, Redwood City/Stanford, Singapore, and Zürich) the importance of the intestinal barrier function for maintenance of homeostasis / development of inflammation is investigated, including the influence of intestinal epithelial cells. Further, the multifactorial interplay of gene-environment interaction (genetics and epigenetics as well as environmental factors, including luminal antigens) in the etiopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease is a mainstay of interest-based activity.
Fields of interest
Cellular and molecular mechanisms of inflammation pertinent to clinical and pharmacological improvement of patients with disorders related to internal medicine - with particular spotlight on inflammatory bowel disease.
Safeguarding the undergraduate clinical training of medical students in the fields of internal medicine / medical gastroenterology.
