معرفی
Christine Dyrager is a Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry - BMC, specializing in Organic Chemistry at Uppsala University, Sweden. She leads the Dyrager group, which focuses on the design, synthesis, and photophysical evaluation of organic fluorophores for bioimaging applications.
Her research interests lie at the intersection of synthetic organic chemistry and photochemistry, with a strong emphasis on developing novel benzothiadiazole-based fluorophores, gold complexes, and stimuli-responsive probes. Her work enables advanced fluorescence imaging of cellular structures such as lipid droplets and has applications in cancer biology and neurochemistry.
The recent publications (2020–2024) demonstrate a consistent focus on tuning emission properties, regioselective C–H functionalization, and the development of photobases and pH-sensitive fluorophores. Her group employs mechanochemical synthesis for sustainable preparation of organometallic complexes and investigates the photophysical behavior of heterocyclic systems in various environments.
Christine Dyrager actively collaborates with other research groups and contributes to high-impact journals such as Chemistry – A European Journal, Journal of Organic Chemistry, and PNAS. While no formal awards are listed, her work has been referenced in patents and picked up by news outlets, indicating translational relevance.
She mentors postdoctoral researchers and PhD students, as evidenced by co-authorship on multiple publications. Her lab is part of the Organic Chemistry division under the Department of Chemistry - BMC, which falls within the Disciplinary Domain of Science and Technology at Uppsala University. The Dyrager group operates in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment focused on innovation in molecular design and imaging technologies.
