Dr Petersen received his Master of Science degree in 2011 and a PhD in neuroscience in 2014. In 2021 he received his higher doctorate degree in medicine based on his work profiling patients with osteoarthritis and linking these profiles to clinical treatment outcomes. His long-term mission is to develop the concept of "Personalised Mechanistic Pain Medicine", providing the correct treatment to the right patient in a fast, evidence-based, and safe manner.

Dr Petersen has published more than 100 scientific peer-reviewed manuscripts. He serves the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) as a member of the Fellowships, Grants, and Awards Working Group and chairs the Musculoskeletal Special Interest Group under IASP.
