  • Education

    • Duborg Skolen - Flensburg, Germany

      2008 - 2011
      Abitur Chemistry (A), Physics (A), Mathematics (A), Danish (A), German (A) and English (A)
    • Aarhus University

      2015 - 2017
      Master of Science - MS Medicinal Chemistry 12 (A)

      In my master studies I synthesized a set of novel probes with the special ability to undergo reversible interactions with thiols (cys) and irreversible conjugation with amines (lys/arg). The latter involved multistep organic synthesis and incorporation of the warhead group into pharmaceutically relevant scaffolds. Due to the complexity and high-polarity of the synthesized compounds, prep. HPLC-MS was extensively utilized for purification.

    • Aarhus University

      2012 - 2015
      Bachelor of Science Medicinal Chemistry 12 (A)

      As bachelor student, my primary function was to aid as technical assistant in the total synthesis of cytotoxin, Rakicidin A. Synthetic work included use of chiral auxiliaries, asymmetric operations and especially the utilization of proline as catalyst for an asymmetric aldol addition.

      Jul 2017 - Sept 2017
      Research Assistant

      Following my master defense, I was hired as a research assistant to conclude my studies which were submitted to publication and accepted in January of 2019 in Angewandte Chemie. Synthetic work included insertion of warheads into a pharmaceutical relevant scaffold, here being the irreversible protein kinase inhibitor, Afatinib. For conjugation experiments, LC-MS and HPLC-UV were utilized extensively. A link to the article can be found below.
