At the University of Copenhagen, I drove early-stage peptide drug discovery projects targeting GPCRs, contributing to ideation, proposal development, and execution. I led the development of a novel peptide design approach, using data-driven pivots and iterative hypothesis testing to navigate scientific uncertainty.
I also took ownership of an existing research project outside my initial focus area, built domain knowledge, coordinated with collaborators, and drove the project to completion and publication. I worked with multidisciplinary teams to integrate computational design and experimental pharmacology and contribute to strategies for translational potential and IP relevance.
At MIT, I investigated enzyme structural dynamics using molecular simulations. At Uppsala University, I led research projects on enzyme catalysis and protein dynamics, built models to rationalize mutational effects on enzyme function, and collaborated with structural biologists on cancer-associated protein mutations.
My work spans protein and peptide discovery, GPCR biology, and computational design, with 12 scientific publications on structure-based drug design, enzyme catalysis, and protein dynamics. Earlier, at ZS Associates, I used big data analytics to enhance strategic decision-making for pharmaceutical clients.
