Welcome Fahimeh!
My name is Fahimeh Khorsand and I will be working as a researcher with Prof. Haug and Prof. Reuter on an early drug discovery project for COPD (norsk: KOLS) treatment. I am a biochemist and interested in protein biochemistry, enzymes and developing bioassays. I received my PhD degree in Biochemistry from University College Dublin in 2016 and my PhD thesis was about the application of enzymes in production of some pharmaceutically important intermediates. 
I have been working at the University of Bergen since 2018, first as a researcher in the Department of Biological sciences and later as a postdoc in the Department of Biomedicine and have been involved in collaborative projects (BIOTEK2021, RESPOND3, TILD) in the groups of Profs. Reuter, Haug and Brenk.
