Luise Mølenberg Begtrup

Luise Mølenberg Begtrup serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Public Health, Section of Environmental Health at the University of Copenhagen. Her research focuses on occupational and environmental health impacts during pregnancy, utilizing Denmark's comprehensive national registries for large-scale epidemiological studies.

Her primary research areas include Environmental Health, Occupational Health, and Maternal-Child Epidemiology, with specific emphasis on physical workload, night shift work, and psychosocial stressors during pregnancy. She investigates how these exposures influence pregnancy outcomes, childhood development, and workforce participation through register-based cohort analyses.

Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate consistent focus on developing exposure assessment tools like the PRECISE Job Exposure Matrix and analyzing the DOC*X-Generation cohort data. Key thematic areas include pregnancy-related work absence patterns, physical activity exposure during gestation, and sex-specific health outcomes in offspring.

Dr. Begtrup actively contributes to major cohort initiatives including the PRECISE Occupational Cohort and DOC*X-Generation pregnancy cohort, which integrate detailed occupational exposure data with national health registries for comprehensive analysis of work-pregnancy interactions.
