Claus Storgaard Sørensen

Claus Storgaard Sørensen is an Associate Professor at the Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC) at the University of Copenhagen. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of DNA repair, genome maintenance, and their implications in cancer development and treatment.

His research interests include:

• DNA repair mechanisms, particularly related to BRCA2 and associated proteins
• Genome integrity and replication stress
• Tumor suppressor genes and their functions in cancer prevention
• Molecular mechanisms underlying cancer susceptibility
• BRCA2-PALB2 interactions and variant classification
• Novel connections between cytoskeletal proteins and genome stability

Dr. Sørensen's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on the molecular basis of DNA damage response and its implications for cancer biology. His work bridges fundamental molecular mechanisms with potential clinical applications in cancer diagnosis and treatment, particularly in breast cancer and other malignancies linked to DNA repair deficiencies. His research on BRCA2 domains, G6PC3 as a tumor suppressor, and MYH4's role in genome integrity represents significant contributions to the field.

His research has received substantial attention, with multiple publications being covered by news outlets, blogged about, and shared across social media platforms including X (Twitter), Facebook, and Bluesky. His work has been picked up by 6 news outlets, blogged about by 3 sources, and shared by numerous users across different platforms, indicating significant impact in both academic and broader scientific communities.
