Personal profile

Research profile

The research of Peter Kristensen is centered on the technical development and application of methods that allow Darwinian evolution of proteins using directed evolution technologies.

The main scientific contributions have more specifically been in the area of recombinant antibodies and methods of isolating such antibodies from large libraries. In addition Peter Kristensen was the first to develop technologies which allow isolation of proteins with improved stabilities from large libraries of mutants. The interest to make technological developments based on recombinant antibodies and for manipulating protein stability and activity, were initiated while Peter Kristensen performed his post doc at the MRC-LMB in Cambridge in the group of Nobel Laureate Sir Greg Winter.  However to justify technological development, the technology developed should be able to provide new insight or solve important problems and here we have especially focused attention at finding novel biomarkers which can be used in characterization of important human conditions, such as age related diseases and rare circulating cells in the blood, just to mention the most relevant example. Most recently, the research has involved the use of non-natural amino acids for immobilization and conjugation of recombinant antibodies and proteins of industrial interest and novel biosensors building on recombinant antibody technology.
