New Aarhus professor will clarify the background for serious infectious diseases
Medical specialist in infectious diseases Trine Hyrup Mogensen is the new professor with special responsibilities (MSO) of infection immunology at Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital. She takes up the position on 1 February 2017.
Trine Hyrup Mogensen conducts research into the genetic and immunological background for serious infectious diseases, with special focus on viral infections in the central nervous system such as encephalitis and meningitis.
With a better understanding of the immunological mechanisms involved in fighting infectious diseases – and in particular what happens when these defence systems fail to function – Trine Hyrup Mogensen hopes to be able to produce new knowledge that can be transferred to clinical practice and provide better prevention and treatment of patients with infectious diseases.
