Mette Sørensen Thinggaard is an Associate Professor in Molecular Epidemiology at the Research Unit for Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Biodemography, Department of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark (Odense, Denmark), which also houses the Danish Twin Registry and the Danish Aging Research Center. Mette Sørensen Thinggaard’s research area lies within molecular epidemiological studies of human health, aging, and longevity, with a profound interest in epigenetics - studies which are first of all conducted in twin cohorts. In recent years, a focus has also been on proteome studies.
