Jens Øllgaard Duus is a Professor and Vice Dean at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), with dual roles in the Office for Study Programmes and Student Affairs and the Center for Teaching and Learning in Engineering Education. His primary academic affiliation is with the Department of Chemistry at DTU, where he conducts advanced research in NMR spectroscopy and structural analysis of complex organic molecules. His research focuses on the development and application of analytical methods for carbohydrates, natural products, and peptides, with applications in food and pharmaceutical sciences. Key areas include glycosylation, enzyme mechanisms, and structural elucidation of bioactive compounds. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals in life sciences and analytical chemistry. The recent publications highlight a strong trend in glycoscience, particularly in enzyme-catalyzed glycosylation, structural analysis of polysaccharides, and engineering of glycosyltransferases and glycosidases for synthetic applications. His work bridges chemistry, biotechnology, and medicine. Jens Øllgaard Duus actively supervises multiple PhD students across interdisciplinary projects, including work on drug delivery to the CNS, nucleic acid analogues, and AI in education. He is involved in both fundamental and applied research, contributing to sustainable chemistry and biotechnology. Structural elucidation of novel pro-inflammatory polysaccharides from Daphne mezereum L. (2024) Denmark as the Energy Island Pioneer (2023) Promiscuous Yet Specific: A Methionine-Aromatic Interaction in Glycosyltransferase (2023) Engineered Hexosaminidase as a Glycoligase (2023) Family 1 Glycosyltransferase from Zea mays (2022) He has supervised PhD projects on generative AI in education, nucleic acid analogues, CNS drug delivery, and asymmetric catalysis. His leadership in educational innovation and research supervision underscores his dual impact on science and pedagogy. He is affiliated with research groups in chemistry and biotechnology at DTU, contributing to a collaborative network focused on sustainable science and engineering education. His work integrates analytical chemistry with biological applications, forming a unique interdisciplinary fingerprint.
