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

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).

transcriptional regulation. [2]

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
