Ulrikke Lei

Ulrikke Lei serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. Her clinical practice and research are based at Gentofte Hospital (Gentofte Hospitalsvej 1, 2900 Hellerup) under the Capital Region of Denmark (Region Hovedstaden), with primary affiliation to the Department of Dermatovenerology.

Her research focuses on genetic skin disorders, skin cancer epidemiology, and rare dermatological conditions. Key interests include palmoplantar keratodermas, ectodermal dysplasias, albinism syndromes, and keratinocyte carcinoma development. Her work integrates clinical dermatology with genetic analysis and population-based registry studies.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals strong emphasis on translational dermatology research using Danish national registries. Her studies frequently examine geographic/socioeconomic disparities in skin cancer outcomes, genotype-phenotype correlations in genetic disorders, and innovative treatments for rare conditions. Collaborations span dermatology, ophthalmology, and genetics departments across Danish hospitals.

Her research network demonstrates extensive national collaboration, particularly with the Department of Dermatology at Bispebjerg Hospital and the Department of Ophthalmology at Rigshospitalet. Current projects show significant focus on transplant dermatology and occupational skin cancer risks.
