Kerstin Soelberg

Kerstin Soelberg is a Clinical Institute Guest researcher affiliated with the Research Unit for Clinical Immunology at Odense University Hospital, part of the University of Southern Denmark's Faculty of Health Sciences. Her work focuses on neuroimmunological disorders with particular emphasis on neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, multiple sclerosis, and optic neuritis.

Her research interests span several key areas in neuroimmunology and clinical neuroscience, with a strong focus on the application of optical coherence tomography for assessing retinal changes in autoimmune neurological disorders. Dr. Soelberg has made significant contributions to understanding the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of demyelinating diseases, particularly those involving antibody-mediated mechanisms.

Analysis of her publication record reveals a strong focus on retinal imaging biomarkers, particularly using optical coherence tomography to assess disease progression and treatment response in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease. Her work often involves large international collaborations, as evidenced by her participation in the CROCTINO cohort study and the Guthy Jackson Charitable Foundation International Clinical Consortium.

• Participated in the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology Annual Meeting (2017)
• Attended the Danish Neurological Society Annual Meeting (2017)
• Presented at National MS Research Meetings (2016, 2017)
• Participated in the 32nd ECTRIMS conference

Dr. Soelberg's research has been cited in numerous studies and has contributed to advancing the understanding of biomarkers in inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system. Her work bridges the fields of neurology and ophthalmology, focusing on the visual pathway as a window into central nervous system autoimmunity.
