Nina Rønsted (Nina Astrid Helene Rønsted) is a Danish botanist, who is Professor of Higher Plants at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, University of Copenhagen.
Career
Following completion of her PhD in Pharmaceutical Science she worked as a postdoctoral and then international fellow at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (2003–2007), including spending 16 months at 16 months on secondment to the Department of Plant Biology, University of Minnesota US, before returning to work at the University of Copenhagen as an assistant professor in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry (2008–2011). Since 2012 she has been at her current position as an associate professor and now full professor.[1][2] She is known for her work on the taxonomy and phylogeny of monocotyledons.
