Jens Christian Brings Jacobsen is an Associate Professor at the Department of Biomedical Sciences within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, where he leads research in the Renal and Vascular Research group. His work focuses on computational models of microcirculation and vascular dynamics, addressing fundamental questions about the relationship between blood vessel structure and function. His primary research interests include: Computer models of microvessels Structural adaptation in vascular networks Simulation of individual vascular cells and groups of cells Microcirculation and arterial blood pressure interactions Dr. Jacobsen's research examines how blood pressure influences the structure of the smallest blood vessels and how the microcirculation affects arterial blood pressure. His work also investigates how the body ensures that microcirculation can continuously meet changing tissue needs through models of flow regulation, vascular networks, the myogenic response, vascular conducted responses, intracellular calcium dynamics, vasomotion, and synchronization. His research spans multiple disciplines including physiology, computational biology, and medical engineering. His recent publications demonstrate expertise across multiple domains including endocrinology, metabolism, cardiology, nephrology, gerontology, and vascular physiology. His work typically involves collaborative research with international teams across multiple institutions, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of his research questions. Scientific contributions: Current supervisor for 2 PhD students Reviewer for 8 different journals Member of study board for Health Informatics at University of Copenhagen Extensive teaching experience in physiological modeling and related subjects Dr. Jacobsen maintains an active research program with numerous collaborations across different countries and institutions, as evidenced by his extensive publication record, conference presentations, and research outputs. His work continues to advance our understanding of microvascular physiology and its implications for human health and disease.
