Lennart Bunch is a Full Professor in the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, where he leads the BUNCH research group and serves as Director of the Center for Medicinal Chemistry since 2021. His leadership extends to heading the Medicinal Chemistry Section and serving on multiple educational committees within the department. His academic journey includes a PhD in organic/medicinal chemistry from the University of Copenhagen (1998-2002), MSc in organic chemistry from Florida State University (1996-1998), and BSc in Chemical Engineering from DTU (1992-1996), complemented by postgraduate training in research leadership and higher education pedagogy. Professor Bunch's research integrates medicinal and organic chemistry with a neuropharmacological focus, targeting CNS disorders through rational ligand design for glutamate receptors (iGluRs, mGluRs), GABA A receptors, and excitatory amino acid transporters. His group pioneers synthetic methodologies including anion-accelerated electrocyclic ring-opening reactions for phenol/aniline synthesis and novel heterocyclic systems, while exploring natural products like caramboxin as drug discovery leads. Analysis of his 2022-2025 publications reveals a strategic focus on achieving unprecedented receptor subtype selectivity, exemplified by the first GluK5-selective ligand, GluK3 antagonist, and picomolar mGlu2 agonist (LBG30300), demonstrating mastery in structure-based design and SAR optimization for neurological targets. He actively mentors PhD students (Christoffer Mentz, Effimia Valavani, Shengxiao Qi) and postdocs through biweekly project meetings and an open-door policy, while securing external funding for his research group. His international collaborations span pharmacological validation and methodological development across multiple continents. The BUNCH group maintains a vibrant English-language research environment with members from diverse nationalities, emphasizing high-impact publications (87 outputs) and translational applications in CNS drug discovery through partnerships with global pharmaceutical researchers.

Katrine Egede Zeuthen serves as Associate Professor in Clinical Child Psychology at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Psychology since 2015. Her academic trajectory includes Assistant Professor roles (2009-2012) and postdoctoral research (2007-2009), all centered on child sexual development and trauma. She directs the Center of Sexuality, Language and Gender and maintains clinical authorization through the Danish Psychologist Board. Her research spans child sexual abuse prevention , infantile sexuality theory , and trauma intervention , characterized by deep integration with clinical practice and policy. Notable contributions include the "Play Room" educational toolkit developed with Denmark's Social Agency, now used nationally for boundary education and abuse assessment. Her work consistently bridges psychoanalytic theory with practical applications across social, legal, and medical domains. Publication trends reveal sustained focus on abuse prevention (2022-2024), expanding into gender-based violence education and European student populations. Earlier work (2010-2015) established foundational theories on infantile sexuality, while her 2013 Journal of Child Sexual Abuse article remains influential in prevention frameworks. University Gold Medal for Master Thesis (2002) National Health Foundation Research Award (DKK 250,000, 2002) Major Grant DKK 7,800,000 from The Social Agency (2009-2012) Grant DKK 1,380,000 from The Research Council for Culture and Communication (2007-2009) Zeuthen actively supervises clinical student work and delivers nationwide training for municipalities, hospitals, and police academies. Her grant portfolio demonstrates successful translation of research into practice, particularly the "Play Room" initiative. She contributes to governmental working groups including the Ministry of Justice's Child Sexual Abuse prevention strategy and the National Police's education development. As Director of the Center of Sexuality, Language and Gender, she leads interdisciplinary teams integrating psychoanalytic, developmental, and clinical perspectives. Current projects focus on "Play Room" assessment validation, child sexuality theory development, and sexual behavior problem case studies.
