Marie is a medical doctor with a special interest in endocrinology. Since 2015 she has been engaged in diabetes research with a particular focus on diabetic neuropathy. Her PhD centered on diabetic neuropathy in Greenland, and she is interested in exploring how both genetic and environmental factors influence this disease.

Research area

  • Diabetic peripheral neuropathy

  • Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy

  • Somatosensory neuropathy

  • Sexual dysfunction in diabetes

Current projects

  • Postdoc on the project: Diabetic Neuropathy in Greenland. The overall aim of the study is to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular autonomic and somatosensory neuropathy among the Greenlandic Inuit population with type 2 diabetes and explore how potential Inuit-specific genetic and environmental risk factors affect the disease.

  • Study on sexual dysfunction among individuals with diabetes from the DANES study. A collaborative project with the Sexology Clinic at Rigshospitalet​
