Anders Gorm Pedersen

Anders Gorm Pedersen is a Professor at the Department of Health Technology, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), leading the Bayesian Modeling & Molecular Evolution research group under the DTU Microbes Initiative. His work bridges computational biology with evolutionary genetics, focusing on viral dynamics and zoonotic disease transmission.

• Current projects include evolutionary dynamics of coronaviruses (2024–2029) and bioinformatics analysis of gut-microbiome-cognitive function links.
• Supervises PhD students: Qvesel, A. G. (coronavirus evolution), Yoou, M. (aging microbiome), Anker, K. M. (influenza genetics).

Research spans bioinformatics, phylogenetics, and molecular evolution, with recent publications characterizing viral transmission mechanisms and biomarker discovery for neurodegenerative diseases. His PLOS Pathogens study on mink-mediated SARS-CoV-2 variants highlights zoonotic risks.

Activities include an invited presentation on Engineering Education 4.0 at DTU (2021). Affiliated with the DTU Microbes Initiative, applying computational models to microbial genomics.
