Finn Kirpekar

Finn Kirpekar is an Associate Professor at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark. His research spans Methyltransferase enzymes, RNA modification, antimicrobial resistance, and proteomics.

Key research themes include:

• RNA methylation mechanisms (16S rRNA, 28S rRNA)
• Antibiotic resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli
• Marine microbiology in deep-sea Trench ecosystems
• Base excision repair pathways in immunoglobulin gene diversification

Recent publications focus on 16S rRNA methyltransferases, colistin resistance proteomics, and ZCCHC4-mediated RNA modifications. He serves as a peer reviewer for journals like Pathogens and International Journal of Molecular Sciences, and has conducted teaching activities in Beijing.
