Trine H. Mogensen MD PhD DMSc obtained her MD from Aarhus University (AU), Denmark in 2002, a PhD degree in 2003, and a DMSc in 2009, including studies in Biochemistry and Medicine in Paris, Descartes University and Necker Medical Faculty, Research fellow in the laboratory of Professor Bryan Williams at the Cleveland Clinic, US. She is specialist doctor in infectious diseases and holds a position as chief physician at the Department of Infectious diseases, Aarhus University Hospital. She became a professor in Infection Immunology at Department of Biomedicine, AU in 2017.   

Among her scientific activities, she directs the PASCAL-MID center to develop CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene correction of stem cells for patients with PIDs, coordinates the Horizon Europe consortium UNDINE on the human genetics and immunology of SARS-CoV-2 disease, heads the Inflammation Network at AU, and is member of the Genetics Working Party of the European Society for Immunodeficiency diseases (ESID) and the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS).  

The aim of Trine’s research is to understand basic mechanisms in infection immunology and immunity relevant to infectious diseases and immunodeficiencies in humans. Through a patient-based translational approach the Mogensen group aims to delineate the pathogenesis, human genetics and immunity of infectious diseases, including herpesvirus infections in the CNS, severe influenza, and COVID-19.
