Soren Brage

Dr Soren Brage holds dual roles as Programme Leader and MRC Investigator at the MRC Epidemiology Unit, University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine, and serves as an Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark. His work focuses on advancing methodologies for assessing physical activity and fitness at population scales, and exploring links between physical activity, metabolic diseases, and genetic influences.

Education:

• MSc in Exercise Science, University of Southern Denmark
• Honours Degree in Health Research, University of Southern Denmark
• MPhil and PhD in Epidemiology, University of Cambridge

Research Interests: Søren’s research emphasizes objective measurement techniques (e.g., accelerometry, heart rate monitoring), descriptive epidemiology of physical activity, and how genetic factors modulate the relationship between activity and metabolic disorders. His methodologies have been deployed globally in major population studies.

Advising & Grants: While no specific student advisees are listed, his leadership of the Physical Activity Epidemiology group indicates substantial collaborative research efforts. Funding and grant details are not explicitly documented here.

Labs/Teams: Leads the Physical Activity Epidemiology group within the MRC Epidemiology Unit, focusing on translational research in population health and metabolic science.
