Hey everyone!
I am Evieann Cardoza, and I am a postdoc at Dr. Claes von Wachenfeldt’s laboratory. My research focuses mostly on understanding the role of a truncated hemoglobin in Bacillus subtilis, as well as investigating other elements of biofilm formation.
I moved to Lund from India, where I received my PhD in Biological Sciences from NMIMS University (Deemed-to-be). During my PhD, I investigated the function of nine cold shock proteins (Csps) in Escherichia coli. During my research, I discovered that Csps are more than just cold adaptation proteins; they are stress proteins that facilitate protection and adaptation to a wide range of stressors. My research resulted in the identification of two previously unknown E. coli Csps and a knowledge of their expression in the bacterium’s stress response.
I’ve only been in Sweden for a little over three months, and I’m still getting used to the quiet and calm life it has to offer. That’s one of the reasons why music is so important in my life. I enjoy listening to Korean, English, Hindi, and Spanish songs all day long! I am fascinated by microorganisms, particularly their stress proteins and how a single protein may perform multiple jobs in the cell. I enjoy working and consider myself a ’workaholic!’. When I’m not working, you may find me meditating, watching romantic comedies, or cooking in the kitchen! I enjoy experimenting with food and trying new recipes.
So, if you want to talk about movies, music or food, feel free to drop by my office (Biology House A, room 232) or email me!
