Karin Enander
Associate professor
Dr. Karin Enander obtained a MSc in Molecular Biotechnology from Uppsala university in 1999 and a PhD in Chemistry from Linköping university in 2003. After postdoctoral studies at Uppsala University and Université Louis Pasteur Strasbourg in 2004-2005, she joined professor Bo Liedbergs group at Linköping university. In 2011, she became a docent (associate professor) at Linköping university and obtained a position as a senior lecturer.
Research interest
My research is focused on design and interaction analysis of peptides and proteins, mainly for sensing and bioassay purposes but also in a more fundamental context. My experience also involves biosensor surface design and immobilization chemistry.
