Birthe studied for her Master’s in chemistry and biochemistry at the Southern Danish University in Odense. During a class covering NMR spectroscopy, she was captivated by the patterns in the spectra. Meanwhile, Birthe also had contact with a research group working with small proteins in lipid metabolism, and these two subjects led her to the […]
Computational methods and NMR spectroscopy: Tools for improving our understanding of proteins
Kresten Lindorff-Larsen is a professor at SBiNlab at the Department of Biology at the University of Copenhagen. His group focuses on combining computational methods with experimental data to study the structure, function, dynamics and folding of proteins. Kresten Lindorff-Larsen studied biochemistry at the University of Copenhagen. During this time, he developed a strong interest in […]
The crucial role of NMR for understanding biomolecules at Novo Nordisk
Andrew’s academic background is in chemistry, with a Ph.D. specializing in structural biology using NMR, both completed in London, UK. Following that he spent approximately six years as a postdoc in Germany, initially with intentions of pursuing an academic career. After his stint in Germany, he moved to the Carlsberg Laboratory in Copenhagen. During this […]
Using Advanced NMR Methods for Investigating Protein Regulation in Cancer and Other Diseases
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 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 […]
New NMR-methods can help uncover the secrets of proteins and their functions
Proteins are the building blocks of life itself. Understanding the mystery of these complex molecules is something that has perplexed scientists for centuries, including Professor Kaare Teilum. He uses NMR to better understand the function and structure of proteins, which could help understand some of the most devastating diseases of present time.
From the Green Transition to Cardiac Arrhythmia – how insights from NMR spectroscopy can help
NMR has a wide range of uses in the world of science ranging from structural assessment, chemical reactions to quantification. Reinhard’s group at Aalborg University (AAU) illustrates this diversity, as he works across the spectra of NMR uses, applying NMR in metabolomics, proteins, fungi, and industrial processes.
