As a clinical geneticist and professor in fetal diagnostics, I work in the field of prenatal medicine. My focus is on integrating new genetic technologies into clinical care. I hold a medical degree with specialization in clinical genetics and also direct the Center for Fetal Diagnostics. I have a PhD and DrMSc from Aarhus University.
As a clinical geneticist and professor in fetal diagnostics, I work at the intersection of genetics and obstetrics. I focus on implementing new technologies into prenatal care, including cell-based NIPT and genomic sequencing. I direct the Center for Fetal Diagnostics and contribute to national guidelines and ethical debates in reproductive medicine.
I teach clinical genetics and fetal diagnostics in the medical programme and in postgraduate training for doctors in Genetics and Obstetrics. I also supervise researchers in Master’s, PhD, and specialist programmes. Using case-based teaching, I aim to strengthen the application of genetics in practice.
I collaborate with researchers, clinicians, and biotech companies (Arcedi Biotech and others) on cell-based prenatal diagnostics, fetal mosaicism, and patient empowerment. The goal is to drive innovation and ensure responsible implementation in reproductive healthcare.
Based on my research in prenatal diagnostics and ethics, I advise national health authorities, professional societies, and the Danish Abortion Council. I serve on scientific boards and expert panels on genetics and reproductive health. I also counsel pregnant couples — a responsibility close to my heart.
My primary area of responsibility is fetal diagnostics, including genetic screening and testing, rare disorders, and mosaicism. I also contribute to clinical guidelines, interdisciplinary research, and the ethical implementation of innovative technologies.
