Dorte Worm

Dorte Worm serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. Based at Blegdamsvej 3, Copenhagen, she maintains an active clinical and research profile focused on endocrinology with special emphasis on metabolic complications following bariatric procedures.

Her research spans endocrinology and metabolic surgery, particularly investigating post-bariatric hypoglycemia mechanisms, genetic determinants of obesity outcomes, and endocrine disorders like Addison's disease and Graves' disease. Current work examines counterregulatory hormone responses, gut mucosal adaptations, and oxidative stress reduction following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals dominant research trends in post-surgical metabolic complications, with significant focus on hypoglycemia pathophysiology (62% of recent works) and genetic/metabolic adaptations (38%). Key journals include Obesity Surgery, PLoS ONE, and Obesity, demonstrating interdisciplinary collaboration across endocrinology, molecular biology, and surgical specialties.

Dorte Worm's clinical work integrates with her research through direct patient case studies, including complex endocrine presentations during pregnancy and autoimmune thyroid disorders. Her publications frequently appear in Scandinavian medical journals like Ugeskrift for Læger, indicating strong regional clinical engagement alongside international collaborative research efforts.
