Den 3 februari hade hälsa-, miljö- och säkerhetskommittén möte. Då diskuterades bland annat förvaring av kemikalier, IA-anmälningar, skyddsronder, ombyggnader och ventilation. Läs mer i protokollet från mötet (ny flik; pdf; 288 kB).
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Biology, Division of Evolution, at Lund University, working with Professor Jessica Abbott in the SexGen (Genetics of Sex Differences) research group, where I study chromosomal coevolution and genome interactions, with a particular focus on how sex chromosomes and autosomes shape sex-specific phenotypic variation.
I obtained my PhD in Biotechnology from Banaras Hindu University, India, where I investigated the molecular mechanisms of Ras-driven glioblastoma using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism. My research integrated proteomics and molecular biology approaches to identify key regulatory proteins and explore potential therapeutic strategies.
I have expertise in proteomics, gene expression analysis, confocal microscopy, and cell-based assays. My research interests lie at the interface of evolutionary genetics, molecular biology, and disease mechanisms, with a focus on understanding how genetic interactions shape complex biological traits.
Hi! I’m Emily from Peru.
I work at the intersection of archaeology, biology, and a bit of anthropology. My background is in biology, but I like to think of myself as a kind of Indiana Jones…just using genomics instead of a whip.
During my PhD (as part of the MSCA SeaChanges project), I worked on ancient DNA (aDNA) from Atlantic walruses at the University of Groningen and the University of Copenhagen. I looked at time periods from about 10,000 years ago to the Medieval period, tracing walrus ivory trade between pre-Inuit cultures and Norse Vikings in northern Greenland.
In my previous postdoc, I focused more on contemporary ivory trade and its importance for Inuit communities. That’s where I really got into the anthropology side of things and learned how important it is to work closely with Arctic Indigenous communities and their heritage.
Now I’ve joined the department as a postdoc to explore elephant ivory trade from the Bronze Age to the Roman period (yes, moving from walruses to elephants!).
I’m really interested in combining different fields and bringing in Indigenous knowledge to build more inclusive and meaningful science. And even if elephants are quite far from birds, I promise they’re just as fascinating!
If you ever want to chat about archaeology (Arctic, Iberian, or African) or history in general, feel free to reach out.
In my free time, I love painting, visiting museums, and going for coffee.
Hi! I am a postdoc working with Sisel Sjöberg to understand thermoregulatory challenges birds face during migratory flight. My research interests include migration, energetics, thermal biology, fatty acids, and mitochondrial metabolism as a physiological ecologist.
I completed my MSc and PhD at Western University in London, Canada, where I studied the effects of dietary n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids on metabolic and thermoregulatory physiology of migratory sandpipers from mitochondria to whole-animal performance.
Beyond research, I like to knit, play guitar, and run. Thank you all for the warm welcome here in Lund!

Hi! I’m Liuyan Zhou, a visiting PhD student in Johannes Rousk’s lab. I’m working on soil microbial nutrient transformation. My current project focuses on nitrogen and phosphorus cycle, mainly using Meta-genome sequencing and comparative genome analysis.
I am from Southwest University in China. It’s the third year of doctor’s degree. Now I need to work hard to complete my doctoral task and meet the graduation requirements.
I like travelling and walking outside of work.
