About me

  • I am in charge of the Macromolecular X-ray crystallography activities at Protein Science Facility, Karolinska Institutet I am the Macromolecular X-ray Crystallography (MX) manager at Protein Science Facility [1], Karolinska Institutet in daily use by around 20 researchers. I am organizing the local structural biology community to share synchrotron beamtime, crystallization robot hardware and remotely accessible diffraction data analysis software to achieve common goals and stay competitive in an international environment. I am coordinating three synchrotron “block allocation groups” at Diamond Light Source in Oxfordshire and MAX IV in Lund in benefit of seventeen (17) research groups at KI, SU, UU, KTH and LiU resulting in shared beamtime for Macromolecular X-ray diffraction experiments. I am also part of a team developing a High Performance Computing Macromolecular X-ray crystallography (HPC-MX) software installation at NSC Triolith, LUNARC Aurora and the MAX IV cluster called PReSTO [2], remotely accessible from any pc, mac or Linux computer with internet access. 2003-2005 postdoc with prof. Pär Nordlund at Stockholm University 1997-2003 Ph.D. studies with prof. Ylva Lindqvist at Karolinska Institutet [3] 1991-1997 M.Sc. degree in Molecular Biophysics at Umeå University [1] https://ki.se/en/mbb/psf-mx [2] https://www.nsc.liu.se/support/presto/ [3] https://openarchive.ki.se/xmlui/handle/10616/38577

Research

  • I am happy to participate in research activities in support of students/postdocs/PIs with an interest in applying macromolecular X-ray crystallography to their research. I was the assistant supervisor of Madhanagopal Anandapadamanaban (1-3) that defended his thesis in December 2015 [1]. I have also supervised postdocs in single projects without being an official supervisor (4-5). 1. High-resolution structure of TBP with TAF1 reveals anchoring patterns in transcriptional regulation.

Teaching

  • I am ususally teaching first and second year medical and biomedical students in fundamental concepts regarding protein, lipid and carbohydrate structure and function vitamins and cofactors energy metabolism such as glucolysis, TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation adding impact of diabetes on insulin/glucagon regulation on gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis and glycogen synthesis chemical binding in organic chemistry
