Rudi Steffensen

Rudi Steffensen is a Researcher at Aalborg University's Faculty of Medicine, Department of Clinical Immunology. He holds a PhD and works as a Bioanalytiker (Biomedical Laboratory Scientist) at Aalborg University Hospital, where he conducts research at the intersection of immunology, genetics, and clinical diagnostics.

His primary research interests focus on Immunology, particularly Mannose-Binding Lectin genetics and function, Neutrophil Antigens, and Genotyping methodologies. His work spans autoimmune disorders, hematological conditions, and molecular diagnostics, with significant contributions to understanding genetic variations in immune-related conditions.

Dr. Steffensen has published extensively, with 188 research outputs including journal articles, conference abstracts, and datasets. His recent work (2023-2025) emphasizes nanopore sequencing applications for neutrophil antigen determination, autoimmune neutropenia genetics, and sensitive mutation detection in blood disorders. His publication trends show a strong focus on translational research connecting genetic findings with clinical applications.

As a supervisor, he has guided PhD research on Primary Autoimmune Neutropenia in Early Childhood, demonstrating his role in academic mentorship. His collaborative network spans multiple Danish institutions and international partners, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of his work in clinical immunology and genetics.

His laboratory work involves advanced molecular techniques including Real-Time PCR, nanopore sequencing, and comprehensive genotyping approaches. Current projects focus on genetic variations in immune-related conditions and their clinical implications, particularly in pediatric and hematological contexts.
