We are extremely grateful for the support from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation by selecting our project to the Wallenberg Academy Fellows grant! In this project, we aim at looking at Archaeal species of our gut microbiome, a group of organisms that has been largely overlooked. We will apply proteomics-based approaches to reveal proteinContinue reading “Support from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation”

This week, Dennis and Djenna start in the lab. Dennis will join as a research engineer and will use computational methods to decipher protein function in gut microbiome species. Djenna is doing her master thesis with us, which will focus on developing protocols to perform thermal proteome profiling (TPP) in human gut bacteria.Warm welcome toContinue reading “Welcome Dennis and Djenna!”

Today Bolor Buyanbadrakh starts as a postdoc in our lab. She joins us from Mongolia, after having completed her PhD at National Taiwan University and Academia Sinica under the supervision of Dr. Chung-Hun Lin, with a thesis entitled “Comparative interactome analysis of the peptidoglycan synthesizing complexes in Escherichia coli”. Her work in the lab willContinue reading “Welcoming Bolor to our team!”

We are really happy to have our research funded by two starting grants: one from the Swedish Research Council (VR) and one from the European Research Council (ERC). In the VR grant we will focus on identifying proteins responsible for carbohydrate metabolism in gut microbiome species, while the ERC grant will focus on identifying targetsContinue reading “Recent funding for the lab”

Lucía Pérez starts today as a PhD student! Lucía has a background in molecular biology. During her PhD she will identify and characterize carbohydrate utilization pathways using functional proteomics and structural approaches in gut microbiome species. Welcome to the team!

Elisabeth Baland starts today in the Mateus lab as a PhD student! Elisabeth has a background in molecular microbiology. During her PhD she will use functional proteomics approaches to identify carbohydrate utilization pathways in gut microbiome species.Welcome to the team!

Shaochun Zhu starts today in the Mateus lab as a senior research engineer! Shaochun has a background in analytical chemistry focusing on the analysis of proteins and metabolites. He will play a critical role ensuring that our mass spec and LC’s are up and running and performing as they should.Shaochun has already been around theContinue reading “Welcome Shaochun Zhu to the team!”

Our lab starts today! Stay tuned for some news, such as, when we get new instruments installed, colleagues joining or papers published.
