Søren Jacobsen

Søren Jacobsen is a Clinical Professor at the Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. He specializes in Internal Medicine with a focus on Rheumatology, particularly autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. His research spans clinical investigations, biomarker discovery, and large-scale epidemiological studies.

Professor Jacobsen's research interests encompass a wide range of rheumatological conditions, with particular emphasis on autoimmune diseases, biomarker discovery, and treatment outcomes. His work frequently examines the interplay between immunological mechanisms and clinical manifestations of rheumatic diseases, with special attention to systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. He has made significant contributions to understanding disease mechanisms, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic interventions in rheumatology.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on translational research, bridging basic science discoveries with clinical applications. Key themes include the impact of biologic therapies on cardiac function in rheumatoid arthritis, HPV-related cancer risks in lupus patients, and the development of diagnostic biomarkers for systemic sclerosis. His collaborative work on extracellular vesicles represents methodological advancements with broad implications for rheumatology research.

Professor Jacobsen has been involved in several large-scale collaborative studies, including the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) cohort, contributing to our understanding of disease progression, treatment adherence, and long-term outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus.
