Her research interests center on nuclear medicine imaging, particularly PET/CT applications in prostate cancer, cervical cancer, and metastatic disease. She investigates advanced imaging biomarkers, AI-based quantification of tumor burden, and comparative effectiveness of radiotracers such as [18F]PSMA-1007 and NaF. Her work aims to refine clinical guidelines and improve patient stratification.

The recent publications show a strong trend in integrating functional imaging (PET/CT) with anatomical modalities (MRI) for precise cancer staging. There is a clear focus on quantitative imaging, artificial intelligence in tumor burden assessment, and evidence-based clinical protocols for prostate and gynecological cancers. The keywords across articles include oncology, molecular imaging, and clinical decision support.

Scientific Contributions:

• Active participant in RE-PRISMA and PETICU research projects
• Contributor to clinical guidelines in nuclear medicine
• Lecturer at national and international nuclear medicine courses

She has been involved in teaching Klinisk Biomekanik at SDU and has delivered lectures on bone imaging in nuclear medicine. Her advisory role is not explicitly stated, but she collaborates extensively with multidisciplinary teams in oncology and imaging. She participates in professional conferences such as the European Association of Nuclear Medicine Congress and national Danish societies.

Research Labs and Teams: She is part of the Research Unit of Clinical Physiology and Nuclear Medicine at Odense University Hospital (OUH), closely linked with Karolinska Institutet (KI) and the University of Southern Denmark (SDU). This collaborative environment supports translational research in cancer imaging and clinical physiology.
