Peter Højrup

Professor Peter Højrup is affiliated with the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Southern Denmark, focusing on protein structure and function through advanced biochemical techniques such as mass spectrometry and chemical cross-linking. His research spans biomedical mass spectrometry, systems biology, and proteomics, with a particular emphasis on endoplasmic reticulum proteins like calreticulin and calnexin.

• Education: PhD in Molecular Biology (1986, Odense University), MSc in Molecular Biology (major) and Chemistry (minor) (1982, University of Aarhus)

His research interests include:

• Developing methods for determining protein 3D structures and interactions via chemical cross-linking and mass spectrometry.
• Fast glycosylation analysis of immunoglobulins and cancer markers.
• De novo proteomics of fish mucus proteins.

The articles highlight trends in mass spectrometry applications, structural biology, and glycosylation studies, with recent work on SARS-CoV-2 epitope mapping, therapeutic antibody characterization, and host cell protein quantitation.

Supervision includes training postdocs, PhD, MSc, and BSc students, though specific student names are not provided.
