Kort presentation
I currently serve as the Deputy Dean of Education at the Faculty of Pharmacy. Additionally, I have been recognized as an excellent teacher and hold the position as professor in Medicinal Chemistry. My research interests primarily focus on peptides and peptidomimetics in drug discovery.
Biografi
Denna text finns inte på svenska, därför visas den engelska versionen.
I earned a Master's degree in Pharmacy in 1997 and completed my PhD in medicinal chemistry in 2003, studying under Professor Anders Hallberg at Uppsala University. I started my career at the same university as a research scientist. I became an associate professor (docent) in 2009 and a university lecturer in 2011. In 2013, I spent time as a STINT fellow at Amherst College in Massachusetts, USA. Over the years, I've received several teaching awards from Uppsala University and the Pharmaceutical Student Union. In 2017, I was recognized as an excellent teacher, and in 2021, I was promoted to the position of Professor. I've also taken on various leadership roles, including Study Director and Deputy and Assistant Head of the Department of Medicinal chemistry. Currently, I serve as the Deputy Dean of Education at the Faculty of Pharmacy. My research primarily focuses on peptides and peptidomimetics in drug discovery, with a special interest in developing pharmaceutical compounds for infectious diseases.
