David Peick Sonne

David Peick Sonne serves as a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, Department of Clinical Pharmacology. He holds a dual appointment, being employed both by the Capital Region of Denmark and the University of Copenhagen since 2022. His primary institutional affiliation is with Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital where he works in the Clinical Pharmacology department.

Dr. Sonne's research focuses on bile acids and regulatory peptides of the pancreas and gut and their importance in gastrointestinal tract function and metabolism. His expertise spans clinical pharmacology, medication review/polypharmacy, clinical research, FIH/Phase 1 studies, drug repurposing, gastrointestinal hormones, bile acids, and diabetology. Current research projects include GLP-1 and bile acid diarrhoea, cholecystectomy, drug repurposing for pelvic floor disorders, atrial natriuretic peptides, drug-drug interactions, and cannabinoids for appetite stimulation.

Analysis of his recent publications (2024-2025) reveals a strong focus on gastrointestinal hormone regulation, particularly GLP-1 and bile acid pathways in diabetes and metabolic disorders. His work spans multiple clinical areas including diabetology, obstetrics, wound care, and pelvic floor disorders, demonstrating an interdisciplinary approach that connects pharmacology with clinical medicine. The research output shows consistent productivity with 97 total publications and significant recent activity.

Dr. Sonne actively participates in first-in-human and early-phase clinical trials, with particular expertise in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies. His work often involves collaboration with researchers in endocrinology, gastroenterology, and pharmacology fields across multiple institutions.
