معرفی
Jens Carlsson is a Professor at Uppsala University, affiliated with the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology and the Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab). His research focuses on computational biochemistry, particularly G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), using physics-based modeling to advance structure-based drug design.
- Academic rank: Full Professor (since 2022)
- Key methodologies: Molecular dynamics simulations, docking, free energy calculations
- Research themes: GPCR ligand interactions, virtual chemical space screening, allosteric modulators
Recent work (2025) highlights AI-driven discovery of brain disease therapeutics and DNA repair inhibitors, while 2024 projects explore AlphaFold applications in TAAR1 agonist design. His group has received Swedish Research Council grants (3.6M SEK, 6M SEK) and industry collaborations.
Scientific awards include the Göran Gustafsson Prize (2016), Excellence Prize in Molecular Design (2022), and Ingvar Carlsson Award (2012). Key students include PhD candidates Mariama Jaiteh and Pierre Matricon, with postdocs like Nicolas Panel and Duy Duc Vo.
