Marie Kjær

Marie Kjær serves as Assistant Professor and Guest Researcher at the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports, Nutrition and Health within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. Her research focuses on the intersection of nutrition and surgical recovery, particularly examining how nutritional interventions affect wound healing processes in gastrointestinal and hernia surgeries.

Dr. Kjær's research interests center on collagen synthesis mechanisms during early wound repair, with particular emphasis on how perioperative nutritional supplementation can enhance surgical outcomes. Her work combines clinical trial methodology with molecular analysis to understand the biochemical processes underlying tissue healing after surgical procedures.

Analysis of her publications reveals consistent focus on gastrointestinal surgical recovery, with particular attention to colonic anastomotic healing and hernia repair. Her research demonstrates how nutritional interventions, particularly multinutrient supplements, can significantly impact collagen synthesis and ultimately improve surgical outcomes.

Dr. Kjær maintains active research collaborations with surgical and medical researchers at the University of Copenhagen, particularly with L.N. Jørgensen and M.S. Ågren, resulting in multiple publications in high-impact journals including the Journal of Nutrition and Gastroenterology Research and Practice.
