About Mette

Professor, PhD Mette Nyegaard (female) is specialised in genetics of complex diseases. Her research focus is how human genomes vary and how this variation shapes biology. MN has a long- standing interest in endometriosis, whichh stems from her 2-year post-doctoral research stay at Dr Linda Giudices research group at Stanford Medical School.

Mette Nyegaard initiated the WERF EPHect biobank at Skejby hospital and been responsible for translating the WERF EPHect to Danish and implementing the questionaire to RedCap. MN is part of the Danish Endometriosis Research and International Endometriosis Genetic Consortium (IEGC). ORCID ID 0000-0003-4973-8543.
