Introducing our next speaker at the Global Podiatry Summit 2026! 🌍

👨‍⚕️Dr. Jonas Askø Andersen is first and foremost a clinician, with a strong passion for improving care of the diabetic foot. His mission in both research and practice is to provide simple, effective tools to prevent, manage, and treat complications - always with the patient at the center.

During his PhD, Dr. Andersen and his collaborators studied tenotomy treatment of hammertoes in people with diabetes, strengthening international recommendations for this procedure. Since then, his research has expanded into stem-cell treatment, metabolomics, and continuous glucose monitoring, while building collaborations across Denmark and internationally.

He has also laid the foundation for a research network dedicated to advancing diabetic foot knowledge and treatment, including the DFU-DK study in partnership with Danish podiatrists, which examines the incidence and costs of diabetic foot complications in Denmark.

Hear Dr. Andersen share his insights live at the hashtag in Copenhagen.
