We strive to create an atmosphere where everyone enjoys what they do and can grow and learn. Particularly important to us are:
Curiosity
Curiosity is the driving force. If you are not curious about a result or passionate about a project or experiment, don't even start. Find your passion and pursue it.
Continuous learning
In research, something new can be learned or discovered every day, which is exciting. We want everyone in the group to acquire new knowledge and to apply it.
Collegiality
We find it self-evident that the lab works as a team, and that everyone contributes to the lab resources and helps lab members that are less experienced.
Our lab is committed to cultivating an inclusive and collaborative environment, where everyone is respected and feels safe, and where different opinions can be expressed and discussed. We think that everyone has the right to equal opportunities - regardless of cultural background, skin color, religion, ethnicity, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, health, socioeconomic status, citizenship or immigration status. We strive to provide such equal opportunities in our lab, and we hope that everyone who works with us gains skills and tools for their life as a scientist. What we ask for in return is being part of this and living these principles.
Our strength is in quantitative cell biology and molecular genetics, and we are always interested in teaming up with colleagues having a background in computational biology, engineering, computer science, or bioinformatics.
