Anne Vinkel Hansen

Anne Vinkel Hansen is a Senior Statistician and Epidemiological Statistician at Aalborg University's Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine. She leads statistical analyses for the Center for Molecular Prediction of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, focusing on population-based research using Danish register data.

• PhD in Public Health and Epidemiology from Danmarks Statistik (2016-2020)
• MSc in Mathematics from University of Copenhagen (2004-2007)

Her research spans social and perinatal epidemiology, pharmacoepidemiology, health economics, geospatial modeling, and aging research. Currently, she applies her expertise to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) research with a focus on early-life exposures. Her work contributes significantly to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being.

Recent publications demonstrate her focus on childhood IBD risk factors, maternal dietary influences, and infection timing effects. Her research consistently uses population-based cohort methodologies with Danish national registry data, establishing strong connections between early-life environmental exposures and IBD development.

Hansen has active collaborations with researchers including Tine Jess, Morten Andersson, and Olivia Anneberg. Her work has been presented at major gastroenterology conferences and published in high-impact journals including Journal of Crohn's and Colitis and Frontiers in Nutrition.

As a statistical expert, she provides methodological guidance for complex epidemiological studies, particularly those involving longitudinal data analysis and risk prediction modeling for inflammatory bowel diseases.
