Thomas Vorup-Jensen

Thomas Vorup-Jensen is a Professor at the Department of Biomedicine, Aarhus University, with a focus on immunology, nanoscience, and biophysics. His research spans cell biology, integrin signaling, complement systems, and applications in nanomedicine and drug delivery.

• dr.med.
• Ph.D.
• cand.scient.

His work investigates the molecular mechanisms of innate immunity, including mannan-binding lectin pathways, CD18 integrins, and inflammatory processes in diseases like Alzheimer’s and ischemic stroke. He employs advanced techniques like atomic force microscopy (AFM) and synchrotron radiation to study biomolecular interactions.

Recent articles highlight his contributions to understanding complement system roles in neuroinflammation, developing diagnostic tools for Alzheimer’s, and exploring integrin-ligand dynamics. Projects such as NANOBRAIN (2023–2027) and NEURODIN (2015–2019) reflect his translational focus.

He actively participates in conferences, peer review, and public discourse, including advocacy for research ethics and institutional policies. His team’s work has been covered by multiple news outlets.
