TOVE
KIRKEGAARD CLAUSEN
I have a background as molecular biologist from Aarhus University and have been working as a researcher both in private and public organizations. I have a broad knowledge of pathophysiology mostly within cancer, and a broad range of methods within cell biology, molecular biology and histology. Since March 2015, I have been employed as research consultant at Center for Surgical Science (CSS). My major work tasks are to coordinate and support preparation of grant applications, preparation and reading of scientific documents, contact to the authorities etc. Moreover, I am coordinator for the national DCCG-initiated NEOLAR trial, the clinical academic group – personalized oncological surgery (CAG-POS) and the coordinator for the Ph.D. program Surgical Sciences.
