Dr. Morten Bjerrum

Biography

Morten J. Bjerrum became a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry at the University of Copenhagen in 1988 and was appointed as an assistant professor, later an associate professor in bioinorganic chemistry at the Chemistry Department of KVL. In 2002, he became a full professor. His research focuses on bioinorganic chemistry, particularly on the behavior and function of metal ions in biological systems at the molecular level. His main research goals include studying the structure and function of metalloproteins, coordination chemistry, and the long-range electron transfer in metallo-proteins. He has particularly studied redox-active metalloenzymes, examining their structure, function, and redox properties, with implications for biotechnology and medicine. Morten J. Bjerrum has published numerous papers in international journals, including high-impact journals like Science, JACS, and JBIC. As a prominent figure in the field, he has given numerous invited presentations at international conferences and has contributed to the education of Ph.D. students in bioinorganic chemistry.
