Tina Dysgaard

Tina Dysgaard serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in Neurology with a research focus on neuromuscular disorders and mitochondrial diseases. Her work is centered at Blegdamsvej 3, 2200 København N, within the Neurology section of the department.

Her primary research explores disease mechanisms in hypokalemic periodic paralysis and mitochondrial myopathies, utilizing quantitative muscle MRI and axonal excitability testing to monitor progression and muscle function. Current investigations emphasize clinical applications of electrophysiology and metabolic studies in neuromuscular disorders.

Recent publications reveal a concentrated research trajectory on hypokalemic periodic paralysis (2023-2025) and mitochondrial DNA disorders (2020-2023), featuring collaborative clinical studies published in high-impact journals like Muscle & Nerve and Clinical Neurophysiology. Her methodological approach integrates advanced imaging, genetic analysis, and exercise physiology to address therapeutic gaps in rare neuromuscular conditions.
