Iben Jensen

Iben Jensen is a Research Fellow in the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Her research focuses on quorum sensing in bacteria and the design of peptide-based inhibitors for therapeutic applications.

Her primary research interests include:

• Quorum Sensing
• Bacterial Communication
• Antimicrobial Peptides
• Drug Design
• Pharmacology
• Biochemistry

Recent publications indicate a strong focus on understanding and modulating bacterial communication systems, particularly in staphylococci, and exploring cyclic peptide inhibitors for enzymes like Sirtuin 7. This work bridges microbiology, chemical biology, and drug discovery.
