Tine Marianne Hald

Tine Marianne Hald serves as a Guest Researcher at the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in foodborne disease epidemiology and source attribution modeling within the Animal Welfare and Disease Control division. Her work bridges veterinary science, public health, and statistical modeling to address zoonotic disease transmission.

Research Focus: Dr. Hald's expertise centers on quantitative methods for tracing foodborne pathogens like Salmonella and campylobacteriosis from animal reservoirs to humans. Her methodologies integrate multi-country surveillance data, stochastic modeling, and meta-analyses of case-control studies to inform EU food safety policies. Key innovations include compartmental models for antimicrobial-resistant E. coli transmission and frameworks for resolving data discrepancies in source attribution.

Publication Trends: Her 10 research outputs (2012–2025) reveal a sustained focus on EU-level zoonotic disease dynamics, with heavy emphasis on Salmonella (60% of works) and emerging work on antimicrobial resistance. Collaborations with EU agencies like EFSA are evident through policy citations, while citation metrics (up to 153 Scopus) underscore real-world impact in public health decision-making.

Academic Engagement: As a Guest Researcher, she contributes to DTU's leadership in veterinary epidemiology without formal teaching duties. Her role emphasizes collaborative research, particularly within EU-funded projects addressing food safety challenges through advanced statistical approaches.
