Frederike Hanke – new postdoc

My name is Frederike Hanke, originally I am from Germany where I have studied and worked in Freiburg, Bochum and Rostock. Just recently I have joined Almut Kelber’s group to investigate if octopus is able to perceive colors. Generally I am very interested in the visual and cognitive abilities of (semi)aquatic animals. For many years, I investigated the visual abilities of harbor seals. Since 2012, I have been working with octopus, too. These animals are fascinating creatures that seem to observe me as soon as I enter the room with the aquaria. They easily learn experimental procedure. But can I make them discriminate in general and discriminate stimuli on the basis of hue specifically?

Make your research known

Hi everybody!

Last year the Department of Biology and its researchers figured quite a lot in media. Journalists and the public took interest in your results, your research projects and your opinions as experts on specific topics.

Hopefully your work will contribute to increase the Department’s visibility even more in 2018.

One of the things I work with is to try to help you to reach out to media and the public. It can be ongoing research as well as studies that have resulted in an article in a scientific magasine. If you know you will have an article published it is a big help if you contact me well in advance. Preferably about three weeks before the publishing date.

Another way to reach out is to use your expertise on current topics that are discussed in media. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with me if you have questions about how to approach media.

Finally, don’t forget The Conversation. It is a great chance to reach out with your popularly written scientific text. Lund University is a member of The Conversation which means that you can get assistance from one of their editors. Here you can read articles from Lund University on The Conversation.

Céleste Sele – new research engineer

Hi everyone!

My name is Celeste and I recently started working as a Research Engineer at LP3 in the Biology building.

By education, I am a structural biologist. I did my PhD in Grenoble, France, during which I studied the structure and interactions of Vaccinia virus replication complex proteins. I then spend some time in Helsinki, Finland as a postdoc, still doing biochemical and biophysical studies of various proteins (bacteriophage membrane protein and brain synaptic proteins).

Together with the other research engineers at LP3, our goal is to provide you with services in protein production, purification and crystallization. We can also help you with further biophysical characterization like DSF, DLS, SPR…

I hope to bring you both my scientific knowledge and my enthusiasm for Science!

Minnesord över Paul Holmgren

Lektor emeritus och mångåriga medarbetaren inom biologiundervisningen i Lund Paul Holmgren gick bort under julhelgen 2017.

Paul hade en imponerande vitalitet och ett brett intresse för biologi inkluderande i princip all organismgrupper. Detta intresse grundlades redan i barndomen. Paul växte upp (mer …)

Anna Sterngren – new research engineer

My name is Anna and I’m happy to be back in the Ecology building after a two-year break. I recently started working as Research Engineer in the Microbial Ecology-group where my main tasks will be: running the Sanger Sequencing facility, supporting researchers within the MICCS-project and general maintenance of laboratory areas/equipment and registration/inventory of chemicals.

I’m a molecular biologist with a special interest in microbes. I defended my theses 2014 within Microbial Ecology and during my PhD studies I investigated how groups of soil microorganisms, in particular Archaea, are influenced by environmental factors such as soil pH and carbon and nitrogen availability. During the last year I have been working as a QC Microbiologist in a pharmaceutical company in Malmö.

In my spare time I like hanging out with family and friends, gardening, knitting and dancing.
