• Research Management Certification (2008, Copenhagen Business School)
• Pedagogical Qualification (2010, University of Southern Denmark)

Andersen’s research focuses on proteomics, mass spectrometry, and ciliopathies, with recent articles exploring:

• RNA decay mechanisms and transcription termination
• Structural roles of cilia microtubule proteins
• DNA maintenance protein landscapes
• CRISPR-based ciliary gene tagging
• Protein aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases

Grants include Novo Nordisk Foundation Challenge Programme (DKK 360M) and Danish Ministry of Education and Research funding. He has supervised PhD defenses and taught Advanced Molecular Biology courses since 2005.
