In 2019 Jens Nielsen was appointed as CEO of the BioInnovation Institute in Denmark, which is a new institute that will foster translational research and support new spin-out companies in life sciences. Jens Nielsen has supervised more than 100 PhD students and more than 75 post doctoral researchers. He has published so far more than 700 papers that have been cited more than 65,000 times (current H-factor 118), and co-authored more than 40 books. He was identified as a highly cited researcher in 2015-2018. He is inventor of more than 50 patents and he has founded several biotech companies. He has received numerous Danish and international awards including the Nature Mentor Award, the ENI Award, the Eric and Sheila Samson Prime Minister Prize, the Novozymes Prize, and the Gold Medal from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. He is member of several academies, including the National Academy of Engineering and National Academy of Science in USA, the Royal Swedish Academy of Science, the Royal Danish Academy of Science and Letters, the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences and the American Academy of Microbiology. He is a founding president of the International Metabolic Engineering Society.
