Biography
Rojas Bie Thomsen received his Ph.D. in Molecular Pharmacology from the laboratory of Professor Hans Brauner-Osborne at the University of Copenhagen. His graduate work focused on biased agonism at the calcium-sensing receptor. While working towards the completion of his Ph.D. Alex also studied in the laboratory of Professor Edward M. Brown at Harvard Medical School, where he concentrated on the physiological role of the calcium-sensing receptor on calcium and phosphorous homeostasis. Alex is currently undertaking postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Professor Robert J. Lefkowitz at Duke University. At Duke, Alex’s research has primarily centered on the cell and structural biology of G protein signaling by internalized receptors. During his short career, Alex has been the recipient of several awards including the Sapere Aude: Young Elite Researcher Award.
