Marc Sørensen

Marc Sørensen is a Guest Researcher at the Department of Public Health, Section of Health Services Research, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. His work spans bioethics, medical ethics, and infectious disease research with publications in Global Bioethics, Journal of Medical Ethics, and Eurosurveillance.

Dr. Sørensen's research interests focus on the intersection of ethics and public health. His work examines personal autonomy within welfare states, particularly in post-pandemic contexts. He also investigates clinical ethics consultation processes and antimicrobial resistance in healthcare settings. His interdisciplinary approach connects philosophical ethics with practical healthcare challenges, demonstrating expertise in both theoretical bioethics and clinical microbiology.

His recent publications reveal a dual research trajectory: theoretical work on autonomy in welfare systems and empirical research on antimicrobial resistance mechanisms. The 2025 paper in Global Bioethics explores conceptual frameworks for personal autonomy after the pandemic, while his 2023 Eurosurveillance article documents significant horizontal plasmid transfer between bacterial species in Danish hospitals. This combination of philosophical and clinical research represents a distinctive interdisciplinary perspective in public health.
