Stine Johansen

Stine Johansen is a Medical Doctor and PhD student affiliated with the FLASH – Centre for Liver Research at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU). She holds a position in the Department of Clinical Research VIP, focusing on non-invasive biomarkers for alcohol-related liver disease. Her research emphasizes diagnostics, prognostics, and clinical trials, including the Rifaximin study for liver fibrosis intervention and fecal microbiota transplantation to combat cirrhosis complications. She actively participates in patient recruitment, inclusion, and consultations within randomized controlled trials.

Her work spans biomarker validation, fibrosis progression analysis, and the impact of infections on disease outcomes. She contributes to the EU-funded LIVERAIM project (2024–2030), targeting personalized medicine and early diagnosis in chronic liver diseases. Stine’s research bridges clinical practice and epidemiology, addressing gaps in liver disease management through innovative diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies.

Key contributions include the development of the LiverPRO score for fibrosis prediction and studies on albumin therapy efficacy in cirrhosis. Her findings have been highlighted in media for advancing liver disease research in Europe.
