Christina Schroeder
Stadtman Investigator
National Cancer Institute, MD, USA
&
Associate Professor (adjunct), The University of Queensland, Australia
Title of presentation: Rethinking voltage-gated sodium channel inhibition
Dr. Schroeder holds a M.Sc. in Chemistry from University of Kalmar, Sweden, a Ph.D. in Pharmacology from the University of Queensland, Australia, and a Graduate Certificate in Research Management from Southern Cross University, Australia. She has carried out postdoctoral training at The Scripps Research Institute, CA, USA, the University of Queensland and the University of New South Wales, Australia. In 2014 she established an independent research program at the University of Queensland’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience focusing her research on biodiscovery and peptide engineering of venom-derived bioactive peptides for the development of novel peptide-based therapeutics. In 2020, she joined the National Cancer Institute, MD, USA as a Stadtman Investigator and she is an adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Queensland.
Knud J. Jensen
Professor
Department of Chemistry,
University of Copenhagen
Denmark
Title of presentation: Glucose responsive insulin based on a glucose-cleavable linker
Knud J. Jensen obtained a Ph. D. degree in synthetic bioorganic chemistry with professor Morten Meldal in 1992, after which he did postdoctoral research with professor George Barany, University of Minnesota. He became assistant professor at the Technical University of Denmark in 1997 and associate professor at KVL in Copenhagen in 2001, which in 2007 became part of the University of Copenhagen. The same year he was promoted to full professor in nanobioscience. He is now a full professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen. He is the co-author of >150 peer-reviewed publications, as well as numerous book chapters and proceedings. In 2010, he was the co-chair of the 31st European Peptide Symposium, which was held in Copenhagen. He was awarded the prestigious Zervas Award of the European Peptide Society in 2012. His research covers a broad range of topics at the interface between synthetic chemistry, biology, biophysics, medicinal chemistry, and nanobioscience.
