From Crystals to Culture: Our Hamburg Research Expedition

This summer, our research group—Lena, Nic, and Kelly—set off on an exciting two-week journey to the University of Hamburg. It wasn’t just our first trip as a team outside Sweden; it was a chance to work, learn, and live together in a completely new environment. Even though the team had high expectations, the experience exceeded them in every way. We began by taking the night train from Linköping to Hamburg, arriving early in the morning, tired but filled with excitement. Our first mission was to find some much-needed coffee before heading to the DESY guesthouse. After settling in, we made our way to HARBOUR to meet the fantastic team there. Our PI, Nick, joined us for the first week, adding to the sense of collaboration and adventure.

We went to Tällberg! (a while back)

In June Lena, Kelly, Nic and Ylva from our group attended the Sweprot conference in Tällberg. Lena is “gammal i gemet” and has been there many times, but it was Kelly’s second time, and the others’ first. We took the car there and since it is a couple of hours’ drive it was a true road trip feeling, with music and chit chats.

First snow (and lots of it)!

I'm starting a new research group!

I’m excited to announce that on 1st October I will be starting as an assistant professor in Linköping University in Sweden and starting my own research group. The initial funding is provided by the SciLifeLab initiative, as a Data-Driven Life Sciences (DDLS) fellowship, funded by the Wallenberg foundation.
