Our lab culture
To achieve our overarching aim of improving human health by targeting the gut microbiota, we have developed a research group comprising experts in microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, metabolomics, epigenetics, physiology, bioinformatics, and medicine from around the world.
An important part of building our team is to have frequent, regular meetings in different focus areas where each team member has the opportunity to contribute to improvements and approaches that drive the research forward. Each meeting becomes an exercise for students and younger researchers in presenting ongoing work and getting opinions. The more senior researchers are there to support the projects and push them forward. The open and permissive atmosphere of these informal meetings creates space for new ideas that can be tested in practice, which is the very basis of research.
Our laboratory’s location, within Sahlgrenska University Hospital, provides unique opportunities to engage with clinicians and study participants and pursue basic and translational research.
