Research and Special Interests:
Drug discovery is one of my greatest passions of life. This passion I nurse through the companies SARomics and SARomics Biostructures which I co-founded.
SARomics provids R&D support of in silico drug discovery to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and SARomics Biostructures provides contract R&D support in protein crystallization and X-ray crystallography with the goal to accelerate the drug discovery process.
I have a thorough understanding of drug discovery derived from over ten years experience with direction and support of target driven drug discovery projects. Prior to SARomics I was head of structural chemistry at Active Biotech in Lund. I have a PhD in physical chemistry from Lund university and is associate professor in molecular biophysics.
