Molecular dynamics simulations of glutamate receptors | |
Background |
I obtained my BSc, MSc and PhD degrees in Medicinal Chemistry from Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark. My PhD research focused mainly on molecular dynamics simulations of the calcium ATPase from sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum, SERCA, in close collaboration with the crystallography group at the PUMPkin research centre.

Research |
|
|
My current research focuses on receptor dynamics with a particular emphasis on the ionotropic glutamate receptors. We are especially seeking to describe how the ion channel opens, and how this event is coupled to the preceding ligand binding.
The work is supported by the Leverhulme Trust.
