Hanne Mørck Nielsen is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at University of Copenhagen. She obtained the PhD from Royal Danish School of Pharmacy on the topic: buccal delivery of peptides and small molecules. Post doc studies were done at ETH Zürich under the supervision of Prof. Hans-Peter Merkle on cell-penetrating peptides; their use and membrane interactions. HMN now heads the BioDelivery center where research is highly interdisciplinary and focussed on drug formulation design and drug delivery studies of biotherapeutics, especially therapeutic peptides, for them to reach their target in sufficiently high amounts. Key focus comprise understanding how biotherapeutics and excipients interplay in relation to formulation design, processing of and drug delivery. Specifically, biological matrix interaction, uptake, and transport of the active drug molecule to target employing a comprehensive state-of-the-art toolbox.
