Steffen B. Petersen research focused very early on various aspects of Biophysics of macromolecules. SBP received his PhD from University of Copenhagen in 1981. He spent 1 year as a visiting scientist at Department of Chemistry at University of Utah, USA. He went back to USA to do a 2 year post doc with Professor Paul C. Lauterbur. When Lauterbur received the nobel price in 2001 for his ground breaking work on MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 3 of the papers cited by Lauterbur in his Nobel lecture are co-authored by SBP. SBP collaborated closely with the WHO office for Appropriate Technology for Health for several years. SBP served as a president for the European Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and Biology (~1400 members), as well as for International Protein Engineering Centers. He has organized a large number of international conferences and symposia. He has been an invited speaker at numerous conferences in Europe, USA, Canada, South America, Asia and Austrialia. SBP served as the Head of the coordination for the 23 laboratory EU BIOTECH Lipase programme. Head of the Steering Committee for the 42 mill DKK 12 laboratory Protein Engineering Program under the Nordic Industrial FoundationHe has served as a reviewer for research councils in Norway, Sweden, Finland, UK, France, Austria, USA , Singapore and Hong Kong. He took part in an international evaluation of Swedish Biotechnology Research. He worked at Novo Nordisk, the worlds largest producer of industrial enzymes and insulin as a director protein engineering, for 7 years. He served as the director of the MR Center, SINTEF, Norway for a period of 7 years. He is on the editorial board of 7 international journals. His name is Listed in Who’s Who in the World. He is a member of both the Danish and Norwegian Academies for Technological Sciences. SBP is a full professor at Aalborg University, Department of Health Science and Technology.
Steffen B. Petersen has published 167 peer reviewed papers, as indexed by Web of Science. The papers have been cited 3300 times (only 200 self citations), 7 of them are cited more than 100 times each. The resulting h-index is 31. He has published 7 books that are available at more than 400 libraries across the world , and he authored/coauthored 24 book chapters. He is listed as an inventor on 9 patents.
