Personlig profil

Kort præsentation

I have worked within computational medicinal chemistry since I started my PhD in 2003 and have extensive experience with most molecular modeling techniques.

From 2014 to 2021, I was part of the Gloriam Group (gloriamgroup.org), which has G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) as the main research focus. My role in the group was as project manager for our activities within computatoional drug design of small molecule and peptide ligands. Most of the work were in multidisciplinary drug discovery projects in close collaboration with medicinal chemists, molecular pharmacologist, structural biologists and data scientists from both academia and industry.

In my current position as manager of the Data and Computing Facility at the department, I manage our small GPU linux cluster and provide project support for the department research groups.
