Copenhagen Bioscience Snapshots
The most recent Copenhagen Bioscience Snapshot took place on Nov 9 at Panum, with a talk by Patrick Bryant. Copenhagen Bioscience Snapshots are series of seminar events organized by Copenhagen Bioscience PhD students since 2019. Find more information about past and upcoming Snapshots on the Seminars page.
CPH Bioscience PhD defenses
Forty-six Copenhagen Bioscience PhD students have defended their theses so far – including all of the students that started in 2016 and 2017. So far in 2024: Kata Krizic, Henry Webel, Philip Gorter de Vries, Zehra Abay-Nørgaard, Matthias Mattanovich, Paul Cachera and Isidora Banjac. We look forward to celebrating more defenses in the coming months.
Student Publications
First-author publications from CPH Bioscience PhD students since the end of 2023 include: Combining enzyme and metabolic engineering for microbial supply of therapeutic phytochemicals (Maxence Holtz); Seasonally adjusted laboratory reference intervals to improve the performance of machine learning models for classification of cardiovascular diseases (Victorine Muse); Protocol for EHR laboratory data preprocessing and seasonal adjustment using R and RStudio (Victorine Muse); Genome-wide host-pathway interactions affecting cis-cis-muconic acid production in yeast (Paul Cachera); Mass spectrometry-based proteomics data from thousands of HeLa control samples (Henry Webel); Markers of inflammation predict survival in newly diagnosed cirrhosis: a prospective registry study (Henry Webel); Saccharomyces boulardii promoters for control of gene expression in vivo (Carmen Sands); Molecular dynamics-based identification of binding pathways and two distinct high-affinity site for succinate in succinate receptor 1 / GPR91 (Aslihan Shenol); Probing efficient microbial CO2 utilisation through metabolic and process modelling (Philip Gorter de Vries); Ultra-fast label-free quantification and comprehensive proteome coverage with narrow-window data-independent acquisition (Ulises H.

Our students have contributed to at least 217 scientific publications since the programme began in Sept 2016 – including articles in Nature, Science and Cell.
Keep up the good work, everyone!
CPH Bioscience PhD Legacy
The Copenhagen Bioscience PhD programme recruited 109 international students over seven years (2016-2022). Many are enrolled as PhD students at DTU and UCPH currently, but the programme is no longer recruiting new students. CPH Bioscience PhD alumni have gone on to jobs including group leader, post-doc, consulting associate, patent attorney, scientist in industry – and we are very proud of all their achievements.
