An Jacobs is a Lecturer at the Faculty of Medicine at KU Leuven, affiliated with the Laboratory for Intensive Care Medicine and the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine. Her research focuses on endocrinology, pediatric critical care, and diabetes, with a particular emphasis on type 1 diabetes, hormonal responses during pediatric cardiac surgery, and nutritional strategies in critical care settings.
Her recent work includes case studies on rare syndromes associated with insulin-dependent diabetes (2025), epidemiological analyses of vitamin D insufficiency and its implications for diabetes prevention (2024), and hormonal dynamics in postoperative pediatric patients (2024). Earlier contributions explore hypoglycemia outcomes in critically ill children (2023), epigenetic regulation linked to parenteral nutrition timing (2021), and long-term physical and cognitive impacts of critical illness in pediatrics (2022).
Dr. Jacobs collaborates extensively with researchers in endocrinology, critical care, and genetics, contributing to high-impact journals such as Critical Care and Clinical Epigenetics. She is based at UZ Herestraat 49 - bus 7003, 3000 Leuven.
