Patrik Rydberg's Biography

Patrik Rydberg, Associate Professor, University of Copenhagen

Dr. Patrik Rydberg is associate professor at the department of molecular drug research at the University of Copenhagen. He has an M.Sc. in chemical engineering and a PhD in theoretical chemistry from Lund University. His diverse background including experiences ranging from analytical chemistry to quantum chemistry, is currently applied to research in the field of computational chemistry. Since receiving his PhD, Patrik's research focus has been on drug metabolism mediated by the cytochromes P450 enzyme family. His recent work has bridged the gap between quantum chemical studies of reaction mechanisms and the prediction of drug metabolism using cheminformatics methods, resulting in the release of the SMARTCyp site-of-metabolism prediction software.
