Bjarke Feenstra - Epidemiology

Author Information

Bjarke Feenstra is a researcher affiliated with the Department of Epidemiology Research at the Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen, Denmark. His work primarily focuses on the field of epidemiology, contributing significantly to our understanding of various genetic and epidemiological factors linked to human health.

Research Contributions

Bjarke Feenstra has made substantial contributions to the field of epidemiology through his extensive research on genetic variants and their associations with various health conditions. His recent studies include exploring the genetic factors associated with human height, familial hypercholesterolemia in Greenlanders, and the risk of febrile seizures. Notably, he has also delved into the genetic underpinnings of hernias, the shared genetic etiology between idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and COVID-19 severity, and the genetic regulation of spermine oxidase activity in relation to cancer risk. His work extends to the integration of genetics with newborn metabolomics and the examination of acute and persistent symptoms in non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
