I am passionate about membrane protein structural biology, and specialize in a palette of techniques ranging from molecular dynamics simulations to protein crystallization and single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM).
My interest in membrane proteins began during my undergraduate and master studies in the lab of Birgit Schiøtt at Aarhus University (DK) where I studied binding of different alkaloids to the serotonin transporter using molecular modelling. From the computer, I ventured across campus, and into the wet lab to learn membrane protein biochemistry and crystallography in Poul Nissen’s lab where I worked on elucidating the structure and function of select P-type ATPases. After earning my Ph.D. early 2015, I continued to characterize P-type ATPases and their lipid dependency for another year as a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Pontus Gourdon, Copenhagen University.
In the beginning of 2016, I moved to San Francisco to work with Yifan Cheng at University of California, San Francisco to learn single-particle cryo-EM to improve our understanding of TRPM ion channels. At UCSF, my interest in developing new strategies for preparing membrane proteins in native membranes for structural and functional characterization was also sparked.
Min gruppes forskning beskæftiger sig med at forbedre vores forståelse af de molekylære mekanismer som er grundlaget for vores smagssans ved brug af single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) og komplementære biofysiske og biokemiske metoder. Komplementært til min forskning indenfor ionkanaler og receptorer udvikler jeg desuden værktøjer til brug under isoleringen af membranproteiner fra deres membraner, den primære flaskehals i membranprotein biokemi.
