Scientific interests
I am a MD and psychiatry resident focusing on the pharmacogenetics and neuronal correlates of affective disorders to develop better diagnostics and prognostics as part of the BrainDrugs - Depression study. In my PhD study, I examine synaptic density using the PET UCB-J tracer, brain volume and connectivity using MRI, and cognition and reward learning using behavioural testing and fMRI.
I am interested in how these are involved in psychopathology, and how they can be modulated by psychotherapy, pharmacology and brain stimulation. And how they relate to changes in activity, connectivity and plasticity in the healthy human brain, such as serotonergic and dopaminergic transmission.
I also have an interest in gender differences, gender identity, sexuality, affective menstrual disorders and the psychological effects of modulating consciousness.
I have previously worked in the Neural Correlates of Gene Function group under the supervision of Prof. Elizabeth Tunbridge and Mark Walton (University of Oxford) on the common mutation in the dopamine system (the COMT Val158Met polymorphism) and its effect on reward learning and cognition.
I also for several years had ongoing research in the groups of Prof. Rune Berg (University of Copenhagen) with the CLARITY method, for large volume tissue clearing, staining and imaging of rodent brains for to develop more neuroscience tools. And Prof. Mette Rosenkilde on viral entry into the brain and other neurobiology related subjects.
I currently teach human neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen.
