She serves as a consultant and researcher at the Department of Respiratory Medicine and Infectious Diseases, Copenhagen University Hospital, Nordsjælland. Dr. Harboe has extensive clinical experience from various hospitals in Denmark's Capital Region and experience from humanitarian missions in Africa and Asia, working with Médecins Sans Frontières and UN organizations. In 2024, she was appointed clinical professor of infectious diseases, specializing in vaccine-preventable diseases in adults.
Her primary research focuses on vaccine-preventable diseases in at-risk adults, including immunocompromised and elderly individuals. These groups of patients are often excluded from clinical vaccine trials. This exclusion is now being addressed through international efforts to revise the Helsinki Declaration, ensuring better representation of vulnerable populations. Dr. Harboe also conducts research on pneumococcal disease, community-acquired pneumonia, and bacterial invasive diseases.
