Inger Merete Jørgensen

Inger Merete Jørgensen is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine, specializing in Paediatrics at the University of Copenhagen. She maintains an active research profile with recent publications spanning from 2022 to 2025, demonstrating her ongoing contributions to pediatric medicine.

Her primary research interests include:

• Pediatric respiratory diseases, particularly asthma and wheezing disorders in children
• Neonatal and infant lung function development and long-term outcomes
• Molecular diagnostics for pediatric infectious diseases
• Public health impacts on child healthcare utilization
• Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C)

Dr. Jørgensen's recent work shows a progression from clinical observations to molecular mechanisms, with her 2025 publication examining genetic factors in preterm infants' respiratory outcomes, 2024 studies focusing on RNA and proteomic biomarkers, and 2023 research analyzing pandemic impacts on pediatric healthcare. Her AD-ON observational cohort on lung development represents a significant longitudinal contribution to understanding early life factors affecting respiratory health.

Her research has gained notable attention, particularly her work on respiratory syncytial virus and asthma risk which has accumulated 25 citations and attracted 39 readers on Mendeley. Several publications have received news mentions, indicating broader impact beyond academic circles.

Dr. Jørgensen collaborates extensively across disciplines, working with immunologists, molecular biologists, epidemiologists, and other pediatric specialists. Her clinical position combined with robust research output demonstrates her commitment to advancing pediatric care through evidence-based practice.
