With a background in philosophy, clinical psychiatry and neurobiology I am interested in how the brain and mind are connected in many different ways. I am the PI of Lagerlöf Lab and resident doctor at the psychiatry clinic at Umeå University Hospital.
Olof Lagerlöf
Welcome to our lab! We’ve just started and are looking for new members – grad students, postdocs, techs…
Umeå is a great place to work and live characterized by its university and many students. Located in northern Sweden there is ample opportunity for both winter and summer wildlife experiences

Manish Bhattacharjee
Manish made important discoveries during his PhD at CSIR in India about the posttranslational modification neddylation in malaria parasites. As an expert and passionate biochemist, Manish joins the lab as postdoc.
Linkun Han
Linkun Han has plenty of experience in molecular neuroscience already and will use his skills to decipher molecular mechanisms of synaptic plasticity and how such mechanisms regulate food intake. He joins the lab as a PhD student.
Lea Hueber
Lea Hueber is passionate about metabolism, the brain and feeding behavior. She will do a project as part of her Masters in our lab.
Anushree Tripathi
Anushree has won places at some of India’s most prestigious academic institutes early in her career. Then she continued to Spain for the PhD and France for her postdoc developing expert skills in neurocircuit mapping. She now shares her time as research engineer between the Lagerlöf and Medini Labs in Umeå
Qiongxuan Lu
Qiongxuan did his PhD in China on a water-living organism. Then he moved to the succesful Changchun Chen lab where he switched to C. elegans. He has discovered already a novel feeding phenotype and was able to employ high-throughput genetics to decipher molecular pathways regulating complex behavioral. With this great and interdisciplinary background, Qiongxuan joins us postdoc.
Alumni
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.
