Personal profile
Research
My PhD project focuses on the antibiotic dalbavancin and its application in orthopedic surgery, with particular emphasis on the treatment of prosthetic joint infections. In a clinical setting, I will conduct a health economic evaluation and assess patient quality of life during treatment with dalbavancin compared to standard antibiotic therapy.
Profile
I graduated as a medical doctor from Aarhus University in 2022 and completed my clinical internship (KBU) in Western Jutland. My interest in research began during my research year in 2020–2021, when I joined the ADMIRE research group – a collaboration I have maintained ever since. Through this involvement, I have gained substantial experience in experimental and clinical research within orthopedic surgery, with a particular focus on infection management and antibiotic treatment strategies.
