Research groups

​Anne Jorgensen and her group investigates human fetal gonads and adrenals with the aim to understand the cellular mechanisms directing normal development and dysregulation leading to disease.

​The group of skeletal, mineral and gonadal endocrinology has huge interest in calcium and vitamin D physiology and the endocrine crosstalk between gonads, pituitary, kidney and bone.

Rikke Beck Jensen and her group investigates the crosstalk between insulin metabolism and the endocrine system responsible for growth and puberty.

​The Almstrup Group has a particular focus on studies connecting genetic and epigenetic variation to reproductive endpoints, testicular gene expression and functional studies of sperm cells.

Translational research and innovation in clinical biochemistry of hormones and growth factors involved in sex differentiation, child growth, sex maturation, and adult reproductive health and human biomonitoring of environmental chemicals potentially affecting endocrine systems.

​The Rehfeld Group conducts translational research focused on human sperm physiology. Main topics of the group are non-hormonal unisex contraception, human fertility, and human male epigenetic inheritance.

Through work in large-scale cohorts, epidemiological studies and laboratory investigations we explore trends in and determinants of testicular function and pathology.
