معرفی
Jakob Haldrup Jensen is a Wellcome Trust Early Career Fellow and Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College, University of Oxford, serving as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist within the Nuffield Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences. He conducts research in the Gill and Hyde Group: Gene Medicine Group, collaborating with Professors Deborah Gill and Stephen Hyde to advance therapeutic genome editing platforms.
His educational background includes:
- PhD in Molecular Medicine, Aarhus University
- M.Sc. in Biological and Chemical Engineering, Aarhus University
Dr. Jensen specializes in developing traceless delivery systems for genome editing toolkits, with particular expertise in lentiviral vector engineering incorporating ribonucleoprotein complexes and nanoparticle-based delivery systems. His work addresses critical limitations in current viral and non-viral strategies, focusing on transient cargo delivery, expanded packaging capacity, and therapeutic applications for severe pulmonary genetic disorders through base editing and prime editing techniques.
His contributions have been recognized through prestigious awards:
- Wellcome Trust Early Career Fellowship
- Junior Research Fellowship at Wolfson College
As an integral member of the Gene Medicine Group, Dr. Jensen actively develops preclinical models for pulmonary genetic defect correction while advancing novel vector platforms that bridge virology, nanotechnology, and precision gene editing for clinical translation.
