Jeanette Hammer Andersen

Jeanette Hammer Andersen is a researcher at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, affiliated with the Marbio platform and the Norwegian Fisheries College. Her work focuses on marine bioprospecting, bioactive natural product discovery, and developing novel compounds for pharmaceutical applications.

• Marbio member: Screening marine organisms for bioactive molecules
• Research interests: Antibiotic discovery, cancer drug development, metabolic syndrome therapies
• Collaborations: EU-OPENSCREEN, HotBio (Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network)

Research trends include:

• Exploring Arctic marine actinobacteria for antimicrobial compounds
• Investigating kinase inhibitors from marine hydrozoans
• Developing nutraceuticals for metabolic syndrome management
• Metabolomics-guided discovery of antibacterial sesterterpenes
• Studying bioactivity of marine diatoms under stress conditions

She has contributed to multiple scientific articles in journals like Scientific Reports, Marine Drugs, and Frontiers in Microbiology, focusing on marine-derived compounds with antiproliferative, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Her projects include the SuReMetS initiative for sustainable marine nutraceuticals and presentations on Arctic marine bioprospecting at international seminars.
