Mette Vang Larsen

Mette Vang Larsen serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. Based at Blegdamsvej 3 in Copenhagen, she specializes in internal medicine with a focus on infection medicine, particularly HIV, hepatitis, and tuberculosis research within the Capital Region of Denmark (Region H).

Her research centers on infectious disease epidemiology, including HIV and hepatitis co-infections, molecular characterization of bacterial pathogens, and the impact of injecting drug use on disease progression. She has made significant contributions to the Danish HIV cohort study, enabling large-scale population-based research on immunocompromised patients and pathogen genomics.

Her publication record (2008-2012) reveals a consistent focus on HIV-related infectious complications, with high-impact work on viral genotypes, mortality predictors, and bacterial infections. The 2012 multilocus sequence typing paper has garnered over 1,800 Scopus citations, establishing it as a cornerstone in genomic epidemiology methodology.

While no specific scientific awards are documented in available sources, her research has been widely disseminated across academic platforms including Mendeley (1,518+ readers), Scopus, policy documents, and Wikipedia. She maintains extensive collaborations within Denmark's healthcare research ecosystem through Region H and the university.

Information regarding graduate student advising and grant funding is absent from current records, though her leadership in nationwide cohort studies indicates active participation in multidisciplinary research teams and projects involving epidemiological surveillance and treatment outcome analysis.
