Lise Mette Rahbek Gjerdrum

Lise Mette Rahbek Gjerdrum is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in Pathology with a focus on hematological malignancies. She maintains an active research program with significant contributions to the understanding of lymphoma subtypes and Waldenström macroglobulinemia.

Research Focus:

• Specializes in hematopathology with emphasis on lymphoma classification and molecular characterization
• Conducts population-based studies on rare hematological malignancies
• Investigates molecular mechanisms of therapy resistance in B-cell lymphomas
• Examines proteomic and mutational landscapes in blood cancers

Recent Publication Trends: Her research output demonstrates a consistent focus on Waldenström macroglobulinemia, with multiple population-based studies examining central nervous system involvement, extramedullary disease patterns, and mutational landscapes. Recent work also explores NOTCH1 mutations in therapy resistance and proteomic analyses of melanoma subtypes.

Affiliations:

• Department of Clinical Medicine, University of Copenhagen
• Pathology Department, Region Sjaelland

Collaborations: Maintains extensive collaborations with hematologists and pathologists across Denmark, particularly with researchers at Region Sjaelland including Østergaard, Munksgaard, and Hammer. Frequently collaborates on nationwide cohort studies of rare lymphomas.
