Rikke Karlin Jepsen

Clinical Associate Professor Rikke Karlin Jepsen is affiliated with the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. Based at Rigshospitalet (Blegdamsvej 3, Copenhagen), she maintains a clinical-academic role through Region Hovedstaden (email: rikke.karlin.jepsen@regionh.dk).

Her research focuses on colorectal cancer pathogenesis and diagnostics, with particular expertise in tumor heterogeneity, microRNA biomarkers, and population-based cancer registries. Recent work analyzes serrated polyp pathways (2023-2024), while earlier studies investigate molecular predictors of lymph node metastasis (2016) and surgical staging improvements (2012).

Analysis of her publication trends reveals strong emphasis on translational oncology, bridging molecular pathology with clinical epidemiology. Her register-based cohort studies leverage Denmark's national healthcare databases for large-scale cancer research, while molecular work examines microRNA gradients as potential diagnostic tools.

Current research collaborations prominently feature Gögenur, Kuhlmann, and Klein across multiple publications, indicating sustained teamwork in gastrointestinal oncology.
