Luisa Helene Schwarz
Luisa joined the lab as a Master’s student for her thesis project. With a background in Drosophila, she had taken on a project how metabolic regulation of synaptic plasticity using primary neuronal cell culture.
Ahmed Al-Husseinawi
Ahmed is almost local to Umeå (Skellefteå) and did his Master’s thesis in the lab. He is very excited about lab work and has already made progress in understanding how O-GlcNAc affects AMPA receptors.
Stoyan Stoyanov
Native to Bulgaria, Stoyan joined our lab as a Master’s student. He is doing a longer project in the lab setting up new methods to identify mechanisms by which OGT regulate learning and memory.
Thyra Boafo
Thyra Boafo came to Umeå for her Master’s in Biomedicine. She started in our lab to do her thesis on how food affects synaptic currents. The results turned out to be very illuminating, showing a novel mechanism by which the brain interprets changes in body metabolic state. Her thesis was awarded the highest grade and she is now continuing in the lab for more exciting projects.
Petya Elenska
Petya stayed in the lab during her Master’s for a whole year – she made important discoveries on metabolic regulation of a previously under-research synapse type. She is now continuing her Master’s in Per Petersson’s lab.
Anushree Tripathi
After a PhD in Spain and postdoc in France, she joined us for a short project as research engineer for a collaboration project between the Lagerlöf and Medini Labs in Umeå.
Lea Hueber
During her Master’s, Lea did some pioneering work on the cross-talk between kinases and O-GlcNAcylation. She has since got accepted to continue her research in Germany.
Sofia Lönnerstedt
Sofia joined the lab for her degree project in medical school. She evaluated a novel paradigm assessing feeding behavior. She did great and we’ll build our future studies on her work.
Batuhan Uygar
Batuhan joined the lab after his Master’s degree. He worked on stereotactic virus injections. He has now moved on to KI for his PhD.
