Amanda Øster Andersen

Amanda Øster Andersen holds dual appointments at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences:

• Guest Researcher in the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Cluster for Molecular Imaging
• Visiting Professor in the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology, Joint Lab Facilities

Her research centers on translational oncology with emphasis on oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Key investigations include uPAR-targeting molecular imaging agents for cancer diagnostics, tumor subsite analysis, lymph node metrics in oral cancer prognosis, and tobacco smoking's impact on survival outcomes. She integrates clinical trials, retrospective cohort studies, and advanced optical imaging techniques to bridge laboratory findings with patient care.

Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals strong thematic continuity in molecular imaging applications for head and neck cancers, particularly through phase II clinical trials of novel imaging agents and population-level survival studies. Her work demonstrates consistent focus on improving diagnostic precision and treatment personalization in oncology.
