Tine Birgitte Halsen Malling

Tine Birgitte Halsen Malling serves as an Overlæge (Senior Physician) at Aalborg University Hospital within the Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Aalborg University. Her clinical-academic role bridges hospital practice with university research, focusing on respiratory diseases linked to workplace and environmental exposures.

Her research spans occupational medicine, environmental epidemiology, and respiratory immunology with emphasis on asthma, COPD, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Key investigations include gene-environment interactions (particularly HMOX1 polymorphisms), airborne mold spore impacts, and sex-specific risk factors in young adult populations. The fingerprint analysis of her work highlights strong connections to regulatory T cell responses and exposure prevalence studies.

Recent publications (2017-2020) demonstrate consistent focus on occupational COPD mechanisms, examining how vapor/gas/dust exposures interact with smoking and genetic susceptibility. Her Danish population studies frequently employ cohort designs to identify incident respiratory disease cases.

Dr. Malling actively contributes to academic training through PhD supervision, having mentored at least one doctoral candidate as documented in institutional records.
