Profile as vice-dean for education: My focus is in study programs within health science and pregraduate extracurricular programs including honours programs within research and innovation. My goal is to initiate actions that support the key tasks of Aarhus University concerning education: Research based degree programs at the highest international quality, development of research talents and integration of research into the degree programs, and graduates for the labor market of the future.

Concerning the latter, I work with student exchange, lecturer exchange, mobility windows for student exchange and summer university. I work cross disciplines, sectors and borders promoting interdisciplinary learning and teaching activities and internationalization.

I have established several gene-modified animal models for diseases in man, with special emphasis on chronic kidney disease and diabetic angiopathy. I have supervised 8 Ph.D.-students as main supervisor and 4 Ph.D.-students as co-supervisor. I have supervised several master students, research year students and Erasmus exchange students (total 20). I have authored 74 scientific publication; 16 as first author, 13 as last author.
