Remi Fritzen

Remi Fritzen is a Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews, affiliated with the School of Physics and Astronomy and the Cellular Medicine Division. His research focuses on metal ion dynamics in biological systems, particularly zinc's role in insulin hexamer assembly/disassembly and trace element impacts on cardiovascular health. He holds a PhD (2021) from the same institution under supervisors Prof. Michael White and Dr. Carlos Penedo-Esteiro.

Key research interests include:

• Zinc and magnesium homeostasis in disease contexts
• Albumin-mediated metal transport mechanisms
• Fatty acid interactions with serum proteins

His publications (2023–2025) highlight contributions to trace element-cardiovascular disease links and structural characterization of metal-binding proteins. He serves on the editorial board of Biological Trace Element Research (2024).

Generated datasets include structural biology data on albumin-Zn interactions and nucleotide excision repair pathway studies. Active collaborations involve groups at the University of St Andrews and international institutions.
