Gisela Brändén, Associate Professor, University of Gothenburg – Brändén leads a research group at the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Gothenburg. After obtaining a PhD from Stockholm University, she spent five years within drug discovery research at AstraZeneca R&D where her focus was on structure-based drug design using X-ray crystallography in combination with other biophysical methods. Since joining the University of Gothenburg in 2012, she has continued her efforts in structure-based drug design with a special focus on novel antibiotic protein targets. In addition, her group is exploring the use of serial X-ray crystallography methods for pharmaceutical compound screening.
