Morten Bøhmer Strøm

Stillingsbeskrivelse

Morten B. Strøm er Prodekan forskning og innovasjon ved Det helsevitenskapelige fakultet. Han er professor i legemiddelkjemi ved Institutt for farmasi, Forskningsgruppe i naturstoff- og legemiddelkjemi. Forskningen hans omhandler utvikling av peptider og peptid etterligninger (peptidomimetika) med aktivitet mot resistente bakterier og med aktivitet mot kreftceller. Sammen med andre forskningsgrupper ved UiT studerer vi hvordan disse molekylene kan utvikles til å bli fremtidige legemidler og legemiddelformuleringer. Dette har gitt viktig erfaring innen innovasjon, patentering og kommersialisering.

Professor ved Forskningsgruppe i naturstoff- og legemiddelkjemi.

    STILLINGSBESKRIVELSE
    Morten B. Strøm er Prodekan forskning og innovasjon ved Det helsevitenskapelige fakultet. Han er professor i legemiddelkjemi ved Institutt for farmasi, Forskningsgruppe i naturstoff- og legemiddelkjemi. Forskningen hans omhandler utvikling av peptider og peptid etterligninger (peptidomimetika) med aktivitet mot resistente bakterier og med aktivitet mot kreftceller. Sammen med andre forskningsgrupper ved UiT studerer vi hvordan disse molekylene kan utvikles til å bli fremtidige legemidler og legemiddelformuleringer. Dette har gitt viktig erfaring innen innovasjon, patentering og kommersialisering.

    Professor ved Forskningsgruppe i naturstoff- og legemiddelkjemi.

    FORSKNINGSINTERESSER

    1) Design, synthesis and development of antimicrobial and anticancer peptides and peptidomimetics as lead-compounds for drug-development and investigation of pharmacophore models.

    2) Design and synthesis of peptidomimetics and bioactive scaffolds for optimization of potency and pharmacokinetic properties.

    3) Isolation and structural elucidation of marine bioactive compounds from Arctic and sub-Arctic marine invertebrates and synthesis of marine natural product mimics (marine bio-prospecting).
