Marie Lykke Bach

Marie Lykke Bach is a researcher at the Department of Molecular Medicine, University of Southern Denmark, affiliated with the Cardiovascular and Renal Research Unit. Her work bridges molecular biology and clinical nephrology, focusing on kidney pathophysiology and therapeutic interventions.

Her research explores the molecular mechanisms of kidney disease, particularly the roles of ACE2, TMPRSS2, and complement activation in SARS-CoV-2 infections and proteinuria. Recent studies investigate virus-host interactions and intratubular complement pathways as potential therapeutic targets.

Marie’s publications highlight her expertise in renal and cardiovascular research. Her 2025 study in Pflugers Archiv European Journal of Physiology examines ACE2 and TMPRSS2 dynamics in kidney tissue, while her 2024 work in Journal of the American Society of Nephrology evaluates amiloride’s effects on complement activation in proteinuria.
