Welcome, Lisa!
I am Lisa and I started as a postdoc within the LEAD AI program in December and will be working in the Haug group. I am from Germany, where I started my academic journey at the University of Tübingen. After studying pharmacy there, I stayed there and did my PhD in medicinal chemistry on the synthesis of covalent kinase inhibitors. I am now looking forward to working on a new research topic, facing new challenges and meeting new people here in Bergen.
Congratulations, Are!
Congratulations to Are Sæle Bruvold for succesfully defending his thesis on Friday November 15! The picture shows Are, the two opponents and the leader of the defence, Magne.
Welcome, Nathan!
Salut everyone!
My name is Nathan, and I’ve just started my postdoc here in Bergen. I’m originally from France, and I did all of my studies in the beautiful city of Strasbourg—which, by the way, is only 2,000 km from here, if you’re ever in the mood for a visit!
My journey began with a bachelor’s in Chemistry, followed by a master’s in Chemistry, Biology, and Drug Development. Caught up in the momentum of research, I enthusiastically jumped into doing a PhD, which I finished last year. My PhD focused on Medicinal Chemistry (or to be exact, Biological and Therapeutic Chemistry—if we’re getting technical!), where I worked on developing new synthetic strategies to access biologically redox-active compounds aimed at treating tropical diseases like malaria and Chagas disease.
I’m really passionate about the multidisciplinary nature of medicinal chemistry, and I’m thrilled to have joined Professor Magne Sydnes’ team to dive deeper into the world of photodegradable antimicrobial agents!
I’m excited to meet all of you and I hope we’ll get the chance to know each other better!
Welcome, Vinh!
Currently serving as an MSCA Postdoctoral Scholar in the Shaping European Research Leaders for Marine Sustainability program at the Department of Chemistry, University of Bergen, I have been actively involved in the field of natural product chemistry and biochemistry. I successfully completed my doctoral studies in Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the College of Pharmacy, Chungnam National University, Korea, earning a PhD in 2020. Throughout my career, I have focused on the study of metabolomics from medicinal plants, fungal strains, and marine organisms, publishing over 60 SCIE-indexed papers in this area. My expertise includes proficiency in NMR, HPLC, and MS techniques, enabling me to effectively analyze and characterize complex natural compounds.
