I am a chemist from Denmark where I received my Master's degree in organic synthesis at the University of Copenhagen in 2018. In January 2019 I joined the EMNS lab as a PhD student under the supervision of Hennie Valkenier.

Research interests
-
The aim of my current research project is to be able to transport organic phosphates across bilayer membranes via synthetic receptors. To find the best receptor for this purpose, a variety of building blocks capable of forming the desired receptors is synthesized and dynamic combinatorial chemistry used to evaluate the ability of the receptors to transport a given substrate across lipid bilayer membranes.
See my poster at ISMSC2020 e-poster session here.
My previous work has involved synthesis of receptors for carbohydrate recognition as well as working on the development of a new kind of reversible bond for use in dynamic combinatorial chemistry.
