As coordinator I was responsible for assisting the executive board with the planning, organization and implementation of strategic funding initiatives, communications, research seminars, outreach activities and the yearly research retreat.

Unit head, and manager of the autoradiography (ARG) core facility.

The Autoradiography Core facility is included in the Division of Imaging Core Facilities (Department of Clinical Neuroscience) and is part of the Centre for Imaging Research (CIR). We’ll help you with autoradiography (in vitro & ex vivo) and radioligand binding assays (cultured cells or tissue homogenates), using short- or long-lived radiotracers, for different types of projects, e.g. target-specificity, binding affinity, drug screening.

(Svenningsson group, CNS, KI) I was entrusted with a wide range of management responsibilities, from daily running of the labs to managing animal colony and ethical licenses.

o Co-supervisor of PhD and MSci studentso 2011-Present: Organizer of the doctoral course in Neuropsychopharmacology (KI).o 2011-2013: Lectured on the "Frontiers in Translational Medicine" course (KI). Title: "pre-clinical models of depression"o Member of the advisory board for the Karolinska Institutet 'Neuro Behavior' facility (StratNeuro).o Laboratory safety coordinatoro Research: The S100 protein p11 (S100A10) interacts with serotonin receptors and has been implicated in psychiatric disorders. Preclinical animal models and data from human patients indicate that p11 deficiency is implicated in depressive-like phenotypes. During my postdoc, I studied p11-deficient (p11KO) mice to investigate potential roles of p11 in stress responsiveness.
