Biography

Adam Frederik Sander Bertelsen is an Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen within the Centre for Medical Parasitology. His research primarily focuses on the development of anti-malaria vaccines and innovative vaccine technologies. Notably, he has pioneered the use of virus-like particles (VLPs) to create efficient vaccine platforms tailored for both infectious and chronic diseases. VLP technology allows for the rapid decoration of VLP surfaces with antigens, thus enabling a revolutionary approach to vaccine design. He has also developed mechanisms for the targeted delivery of therapeutic cargos, including toxins and CRISPR, which could significantly impact cancer treatment. Over his career, he has contributed to 17 peer-reviewed publications and has been involved in numerous speaking engagements and research collaborations globally.
