Anne Grosbøl Jensen

Profile

I am a medical doctor from Aarhus University (graduated summer 2024) with a strong interest in both clinical practice and research. I am currently pursuing a PhD, with my research focusing on the role of the immune system in neurodegenerative diseases.

Research

My Ph.D. project focuses on microglia and their role in neurodegenerative diseases, with particular emphasis on phagocytosis checkpoints and their potential as both therapeutic targets and biomarkers. Previously, I have worked with checkpoint mechanisms in cancer diseases, which has provided me with experience that I now apply in my work on neurodegeneration.

Additionally, as part of my bachelor project, I investigated neurodevelopment in children prenatally exposed to benzodiazepines.

Teaching

I teach a course in communication to medical students at the graduate (Master's) level. Through both theoretical content and practical exercises, I aim to help students develop their ability to communicate effectively with patients and colleagues.

Additionally, I have taught the course 'From Laboratory Analyses to Clinical Practice', which aims to provide medical students with a theoretical introduction to the work of a doctor in a clinical biochemistry department.
