Søren Gøgsig Faarup Rasmussen

Søren Gøgsig Faarup Rasmussen serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Neuroscience within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. His research is conducted through the Neuropharm and Genetics research group, with laboratory facilities located at Blegdamsvej 3B in Copenhagen.

Dr. Rasmussen's research focuses on molecular neuropharmacology, particularly the structural and functional characterization of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and neurotransmitter transporters. His laboratory employs advanced techniques including single-molecule imaging, structural biology approaches, and biophysical analyses to investigate conformational dynamics of receptors at unprecedented resolution. His work bridges fundamental molecular mechanisms with implications for neurological disorders and drug development.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a consistent trajectory of high-impact research on membrane protein dynamics, with publications spanning top-tier journals including Cell, Nature Communications, and Science Advances. His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration across biochemistry, biophysics, and pharmacology, with notable contributions to understanding receptor activation mechanisms and transporter function.

Dr. Rasmussen leads an active research laboratory (Rasmussen Lab) that maintains a strong publication output, with 54 documented research contributions. His work has attracted significant scientific attention, with several publications receiving substantial citations and media coverage, including news features and social media discussion across multiple platforms.
