As an Assistant Professor, I study renal physiology, with a focus on electrolyte homeostasis, blood pressure regulation and kidney disease. My primary tasks include research, teaching and supervision of students. I have an interdisciplinary background in biomedical engineering and cardiovascular sciences. I now have extensive experience with in vivo models, renal functional studies, molecular biology, proteomics and data analysis.
My research focuses on renal physiology and the mechanisms linking electrolyte homeostasis, kidney function and blood pressure regulation. I am particularly interested in how dietary factors, including potassium, drive adaptations in renal tubular transport and metabolism. My future research will investigate the role of fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) in renal physiology and the development and progression of kidney disease.
My responsibilities include developing and conducting independent research projects, experimental design, data analysis and scientific dissemination. I contribute to teaching and supervision of students and junior researchers, preparation of grant applications and manuscripts, and collaborative research activities within and outside Aarhus University.
