Joined a panel at #KBCDays 🌱 Talking openly about challenges & opportunities in academia matters. It’s not an easy path—funding, supervision, independence—but honesty, preparation & great people make it meaningful. Still learning every day. #Academia #Mentorship

🎉 Excited to welcome Karl Poncha, PhD, our first postdoc!
He’ll explore proteostasis in aging, combining bioinformatics + screening—a perfect match for our FAST platform and mission to understand the ageing chaperome.

Rollercoaster 2024 has ended - my first full year as a professor. Filled with challenges, and I know there’s still a lot to learn. In 2025, I hope to work towards a healthy work-life balance, and enjoy the wild nature here in northern Sweden.
Wishing everyone a wonderful start to the new year!
