Sidsel Linneberg Rathcke

Sidsel Linneberg Rathcke is a Physician Scientist at Aalborg University's Faculty of Medicine and a reservelæge (reserve doctor) in the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics at Aalborg University Hospital, Denmark.

She completed her PhD in 2023 at Aalborg University with the dissertation "Pregnancy in diabetes: Fetal growth and placental function in pregestational diabetes". Her clinical and academic work bridges obstetrics, diabetes research, and infectious disease epidemiology.

Dr. Rathcke's research focuses on fetal biometry applications in gestational diabetes management and SARS-CoV-2 infection impacts during pregnancy. She employs nationwide cohort methodologies to analyze risk factors for adverse outcomes, with emphasis on ultrasound-based prediction models and disease severity stratification. Her work demonstrates consistent translational focus from clinical observation to population-level evidence.

Recent publications reveal two dominant research trajectories: diabetes-pregnancy interactions (2022-2024) and pandemic-era obstetric virology (2021-2023). The diabetes studies pioneered fetal head circumference analysis for predicting large-for-gestational-age infants, while the SARS-CoV-2 research established Denmark's national cohort framework for infection severity outcomes.

No scientific awards are documented in available records. Information regarding student supervision, grant funding, or dedicated laboratory facilities is not publicly specified, though her multi-institutional collaborations (evident in 19-20 co-author networks) suggest integrated clinical-research team participation within Denmark's national healthcare system.
