Lars Juul

Lars Juul serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, specializing in Internal Medicine: Rheumatology. His clinical and research activities are centered at Copenhagen University Hospital (Region Hovedstaden), with his office located at Blegdamsvej 3, 2200 Copenhagen N.

His research spans rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, osteoarthritis, and spondyloarthritis, with emphasis on:

• Biomarker discovery for disease prediction and monitoring
• Treatment optimization for biological DMARDs
• Imaging techniques (ultrasound, MRI) in rheumatic diseases
• Genetic and environmental risk factors in autoimmunity
• Clinical epidemiology of chronic inflammatory conditions

Analysis of his 9 publications (2009-2023) reveals consistent focus on clinical rheumatology with strong Danish collaborative networks. Recent work (2021-2023) prioritizes real-world evidence in treatment tapering, imaging biomarkers, and phenotype-genotype correlations, while maintaining interest in clinical epidemiology as evidenced by his 2009 diabetes study.

His collaborative network spans multiple Danish hospitals and research groups, with significant contributions to the Copenhagen University Hospital rheumatology department's research output. Publications show extensive co-authorship with leading rheumatologists including Terslev, Østergaard, and Hetland, indicating active participation in major national research consortia.
