Summary
Kasper Harpsøe is a research consultant and Data & Computing Facility Manager at the University of Copenhagen with over a decade of experience in computational medicinal chemistry and facility administration. He holds a PhD in Computational Chemistry and an MSc (Pharm), enabling him to bridge drug discovery, structural biology and data science conversations across academia and industry. Kasper has led computational support for GPCR-focused projects, interpreting experimental data in structural contexts and designing peptide and small-molecule ligands informed by molecular models. He manages departmental compute infrastructure—servers, queuing systems and software—while providing hands-on modelling, cheminformatics and Linux system administration. A long-standing contributor to GPCR research ecosystems, he is part of the Gloriam Group and supports GPCRdb, linking curated sequence/structure data with interactive tools used by the field. Colleagues value him for translating complex structural insights into pragmatic experimental suggestions and for mentoring researchers across disciplines.
