Steen Bendix Haugaard

Steen Bendix Haugaard is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. His primary clinical specialization is in Internal Medicine with a focus on Endocrinology. Based at Bispebjerg Hospital (Bispebjerg Bakke 23, 2400 København NV) and the main university hospital campus (Blegdamsvej 3, 2200 København N), he maintains an active research and clinical practice in endocrinology and diabetes care.

Dr. Haugaard's research focuses on several key areas within endocrinology and metabolism. His primary interests include:

• Diabetes pathophysiology and management
• Glucagon signaling and resistance
• Lipoprotein metabolism in metabolic disorders
• FGF21 and GDF15 as metabolic biomarkers
• Blood pressure variability and cardiovascular risk
• Metabolic Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)

His recent publication record demonstrates a strong focus on clinical endocrinology research, with numerous high-impact publications in leading journals including Diabetes Care, Diabetes, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and Journal of the Endocrine Society. His work often involves large-scale clinical studies and randomized controlled trials examining metabolic parameters in diabetes and obesity. A significant portion of his recent work investigates the role of glucagon in metabolic regulation and the development of novel diagnostic tools like the GLUSENTIC test for assessing glucagon resistance.

Dr. Haugaard has received attention for his research, with several publications picked up by news outlets, blogged about, and shared across social media platforms including X (Twitter), Facebook, and Reddit. His work has garnered substantial academic interest with numerous readers on Mendeley.
