What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles where I can apply medicinal chemistry and analytical expertise to drive method development, GMP-compliant manufacturing support, cross-functional projects, and continuous technical improvement.

I am a purpose-driven medicinal chemist with an MSc from the University of Copenhagen and several years' experience at Novo Nordisk in analytical development, formulation, QC and process optimization. I have driven validation, transfer and optimization of analytical methods and supported cross-functional manufacturing and CMO projects.

At Novo Nordisk I worked across departments in roles including Research Scientist, Formulation Scientist, QC Chemist and Chemist, contributing to GSP/GMP analytical support, aseptic manufacturing competence centre activities, downstream purification SPS and equipment qualification. I have hands-on experience with NMR, (U)HPLC, MS and validation activities.

I bring strong technical skills (Python, Microsoft Office/BI, LIMS, CDS), proven ability to support cross-functional projects, and a collaborative mindset focused on driving technical improvements and reliable product delivery.
