Welcome Lars!
Hello everyone!
My name is Lars, and I recently started my PhD in the marine natural products group led by Associate professor Monica Jordheim. I’m originally from a small town in Ryfylke called Jørpeland but moved to Bergen in 2015 to study chemistry. After my master’s degree I spent a couple of years working as a head engineer at the Marine research institute, but now I’m excited to be back at UoB as a PhD candidate.
I also did my master’s in the same research group, where I worked on bioprospecting metabolites from a deep-sea sponge. But this time around my research will be focused on the extraction and characterization of polyphenols from brown macroalgae.
I look forward to meeting you all!
Lars Højmark
