As a medical doctor and clinical researcher, I focus on osteoporosis in chronic kidney disease, including the effects of disturbances in calcium and phosphorus metabolism on bone fragility. My work is mainly on non-invasive diagnostics of osteoporosis in CKD and the evolution of bone and mineral disturbances after kidney transplantation. I have a strong international profile with collaboration with prominent reserachers in my field and active roles in European and global organizations.
Clinical research in the field of chronic kidney disease – mineral and bone disorders, with particular focus on CKD-associated osteoporosis and mineral metabolism disturbances kidney failure and after kidney transplantation.
I teach on the first semester of Master studies in Medicine on the topics of 'Chronic kidney disease' and 'Treatment of chronic kidney disease'. I am responsible for teaching medical students in clinical training at Department of Renal Medicine. Furthermore, I am active in research dissemination as an invited speaker at national and international conferences.
I emphasize synergy between my research area and clinical work, and have been instrumental in initiating multi-disciplinary team conferences aiming to provide optimal care for patients with kidney disease and complex disturbances in bone and mineral metabolism.
I value collaboration and partake in both national and international networks. I hold several board positions in European and global networks and organizations.
My research group focuses on bone disease and mineral metabolism disturbances in dialysis (2 PhD students) and after kidney transplantation (2 PhD students).
