Biography

Christofer Lendel is a Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, where he focuses on the assembly of protein molecules into nanoscale aggregates and their implications in biochemical processes related to neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease. His research seeks to understand the structural properties and interactions of protein aggregates, especially their behavior at the molecular level. He is also involved in developing innovative nanomaterials derived from protein nanofibrils, which exhibit extraordinary mechanical and functional properties. Lendel is recognized for his work on the development of protein-rich renewable sources for creating sustainable materials and explores the pathological mechanisms behind protein aggregation involved in serious diseases. His endeavors include studying small molecule inhibitors of protein aggregation as potential therapeutics for amyloid diseases, aiming to derive insights that inform drug design.
