Gertrud Malene Hjortø is an Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, Department of Biomedical Sciences, specializing in Molecular and Translational Pharmacology. Her research focuses on chemokine receptors, particularly CCR7, and their role in immune cell recruitment and positioning in the body. Dr. Hjortø leads a research group of four people and teaches approximately 550 hours per year across various medical and dental programs at the university. Dr. Hjortø earned her PhD from the Department of Molecular Biology and Virology at the University of Copenhagen and Novo Nordisk in 2002. Her educational background includes a Master's degree from Novo Nordisk A/S and the Department of Molecular Biology at KU (1996-97), and undergraduate studies in Biology (1992-97) and Biochemistry (1991-92) at the University of Copenhagen. Dr. Hjortø's research centers on understanding the molecular mechanisms of chemokine receptors, with special emphasis on CCR7 and its ligands CCL19, CCL21, and CCL21Tailless. Her work investigates how these receptors control immune responses through dendritic cell and T cell recruitment to lymph nodes. A key discovery from her lab is that post-translational modifications of chemokine receptors can be targeted with externally added peptides to enhance ligand-receptor interactions. This led to a patent application for "Chemotaxis potentiating peptides and uses thereof," which aims to improve immune responses, particularly in cancer immunotherapy. Her research employs classical pharmacological methods, time-lapse microscopy for tracking immune cell migration, and analysis of receptor-mediated signaling events. The publication record of Dr. Hjortø demonstrates a strong focus on chemokine receptor pharmacology, with recent work expanding into related receptors like GPR183 and broader applications in cancer immunotherapy and inflammatory diseases.
