Trine H. Mogensen obtained her Medical degree from Aarhus University (AU) in 2002, a PhD degree in 2003, and a Doctor of Medical Sciences degree in 2009. International training includes studies in Biochemistry and in Medicine in Paris, Descartes University and Necker Medical Faculty, Research fellow in the laboratory of Professor Bryan Williams at the Cleveland Clinic, and a Diploma from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Since 2017 she is Professor in Infection Immunology at Department of Biomedicine, AU and holds a consultant position in the Department of Infectious diseases at Aarhus University Hospital. Her clinical work and research focus on the genetic and immunological basis of inborn errors of immunity and severe infectious diseases, most notably viral infections in the CNS. Through a translational approach combining WES of patient samples with functional studies in molecular immunology and virology, her group aims at delineating the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, including herpes simplex encephalitis, recurrent HSV-2 meningitis, VZV encephalitis, and most recently COVID-19, with the ultimate goal to improve diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of patients. Currently, she is the coordinator of the Horizon Europe-funded consortium UNDINE on human genetic and immunological determinants of the clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
