Dr. Gudmundur Hrafn Gudmundsson

Gudmundur Hrafn Gudmundsson is a Professor at the University of Iceland and Karolinska Institutet (Sweden). He played a foundational role in the discovery of LL-37, cloning the FALL-39 gene and isolating the mature peptide from human neutrophils. His work established the processing mechanism of the precursor protein hCAP18 into the active antimicrobial peptide LL-37. Key publications: 'FALL-39, a putative human peptide antibiotic, is cysteine-free and expressed in bone marrow and testis' (1995), 'The human gene FALL39 and processing of the cathelin precursor to the antibacterial peptide LL-37 in granulocytes' (1996), and 'Conformation-dependent antibacterial activity of the naturally occurring human peptide LL-37' (1998). Gudmundur Hrafn Gudmundsson is referenced as a foundational scientist in LL-37 research.
