As a Professor and Head of the MR Research Centre, I lead research into clinically translatable MRI technologies. I specialize in research leadership, interdisciplinary collaboration, and grant acquisition. With a background in nanoscience and a phd and doctorate in medicine, I have extensive experience in multi-center studies and currently serve as chair of the Danish 7T MRI national steering group.

I conduct research on translational MRI, focusing on metabolic imaging using hyperpolarized ¹³C, ²H and ¹²⁹Xe MRI. My aim is to develop non-invasive methods for assessing organ function in diseases like Alzhimers, heart failure, cancer, diabetes and chronic kidney disease. This work supports clinicians in making more informed, personalized treatment decisions.

I collaborate with national hospitals and international universities on projects within hyperpolarized MRI and kidney disease imaging. The goal is to develop clinically applicable imaging tools and standardize methods across institutions.

I teach advanced MRI methods in the Medical PhD degree programs. Using research-based teaching and hands-on imaging sessions, I aim to give students insight into translational imaging and its clinical relevance. I have also contributed to academic regulation development and course materials.
