Eduardo Felipe Alves Fernandes

Eduardo Felipe Alves Fernandes is a Researcher at the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology, University of Copenhagen. His research focuses on medicinal chemistry approaches for neuroscience applications, particularly developing peptide-based molecular probes and inhibitors targeting neurological disorders.

Primary research interests include:

• Design of peptide-based imaging probes for brain structures
• Development of inhibitors targeting PDZ domain proteins
• Blood-brain barrier penetration strategies for neurotherapeutics
• Molecular imaging of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress
• Radiofluorination techniques for peptide labeling

His recent publications (2019-2025) demonstrate a consistent focus on medicinal chemistry solutions for neurological challenges, with emphasis on peptide engineering, molecular imaging, and blood-brain barrier penetration mechanisms. Research frequently appears in specialized journals including Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters.
