Nicoline Uglebjerg

Nicoline Uglebjerg serves as a Researcher at the Department of Public Health, Section of Epidemiology within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. Her work focuses on genetic epidemiology of chronic metabolic diseases, particularly examining gene-disease interactions in diabetes complications.

Her primary research areas include Genetic Epidemiology, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, and Nephrology, with specific emphasis on identifying genetic variants influencing kidney function (eGFR) and cardiovascular outcomes. She employs population-based genetic association studies to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying diabetes complications in European cohorts.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals consistent focus on genetic determinants of diabetes complications: her 2023 study examined CUBN variants in kidney function across diabetic/non-diabetic populations, while her 2021 research analyzed FABP4 variants in cardiovascular disease among Type 1 Diabetes patients. Both studies demonstrate expertise in translational genetic epidemiology using large-scale cohort data to identify biomarkers for disease progression.
