Kasper Aanæs

Kasper Aanæs is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. He is based at Blegdamsvej 3, 2200 Copenhagen N, Denmark, and can be reached at kasper.aanaes@regionh.dk or by phone at +4535457861.

Dr. Aanæs specializes in otolaryngology with a focus on sinonasal disorders and olfactory dysfunction. His research spans several key areas including:

• Rhinology and nasal/sinus disorders
• Olfactory dysfunction and rehabilitation
• Chronic rhinosinusitis
• Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA)
• Cystic fibrosis-related ENT manifestations
• Application of AI in diagnosing nasal conditions

His recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate a strong focus on clinical interventions for olfactory disorders, particularly in relation to COVID-19 and autoimmune conditions like GPA. Aanæs has also contributed significantly to understanding the impact of CFTR modulators on sinonasal manifestations in cystic fibrosis patients. His work bridges otolaryngology with respiratory medicine, examining how upper-airway symptoms affect broader health outcomes including cognitive function in severe asthma patients.

Dr. Aanæs has established a robust collaborative network, frequently working with researchers like Backer V., von Buchwald C., and others across multiple institutions. His publication in Nature Communications on Pseudomonas aeruginosa demonstrates the breadth of his research extending into microbiology and antibiotic resistance mechanisms.
