Her research emphasizes genetic screening, epigenetics, and exome sequencing to identify predispositions for rare and hereditary cancers. Recent studies include telomere biology, germline variants in end-stage cancer, and mosaicism in PTCH1 mutations linked to Gorlin Syndrome. Articles highlight applications of DNA repair mechanisms and MUTYH/MSH6 pathways.

Key trends in her publications include genetic testing for late-onset colorectal cancer, epigenetic analysis in pediatric tumors, and mosaic variants in hereditary syndromes. Collaborations span institutions in Denmark, focusing on national cancer cohorts and clinical diagnostics.
