Originally from France, Thibault Viennet embarked on an academic journey that recently led him to Aarhus, Denmark, studying chemical engineering at Lille University in France, refining his skills in analytical techniques. His undergraduate years revealed that his true passion lays in research, diverting him away from a potential future in the industry. Thibault’s academic focus […]
NMR in Drug Discovery: Uncovering Nature’s Potential Pharmaceuticals
Dan Stærk obtained his degree in molecular biology and biotechnology at the University of Southern Denmark. After completing his thesis, he earned a PhD in the chemistry of natural substances at the Danish University of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Dan soon after joined the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH as an assistant professor and […]
Can NMR uncover new ways to fight resistant bacteria?
Pernille Rose Jensen undertook her PhD studies at UCPH supervised by Flemming Poulsen, focusing on using NMR spectroscopy to study proteins and their dynamics. After finishing her PhD, she travelled to Basel in Switzerland for Post Doc position still focusing on protein NMR spectroscopy. When she returned to Denmark a couple of years later, she […]
NMR spectroscopy can aid in the battle against microorganisms by predicting their next move
Jens Øllgaard Duus is professor at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and a former center leader at the Carlsberg NMR center, where he used NMR to optimize the production of beer. Currently, he applies the techniques acquired from Carlsberg to understand how mutations affect diseases and convert food residues into biofuel. After pursuing his […]
NMR spectroscopy, temperature variation, and the secrets of neurodegenerative diseases
Anders Malmendal was educated as a chemical engineer at Lund University in Sweden and ENSIGC in Toulouse, France. After finishing his master’s thesis, he stayed in Lund to write his PhD in biophysical chemistry. Here, he used NMR to get both structural and dynamic information on how calcium-binding proteins bind calcium cooperatively. Anders has worked […]
