Iben is the founder of the Lundgaard Lab where she tirelessly works on her dream of finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease by targeting the glymphatic system.
She holds a PhD in Neuroscience and a Masters in molecular biology.
Oksana Tymoshchuk
Oksana Tymoshchuk is from a strong and independent Ukraine and is proud of it. She worked as a professor of medicine at the Ivano-Forankiv National Medical University (IFNMU), where she engaged in preventive medicine as well as studied the quality of life and psychophysiological functions of pupils and students of modern educational institutions. She built […]
Ana Isabel Álvarez López
Ph.D. Ana is a postdoctoral researcher from Seville, Spain, with a background in Biochemistry, Immunology, and Molecular Medicine. Her research focuses on the interactions between the glymphatic system, astrocytes, and the immune system in neurodegenerative and demyelinating diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis. Before joining the Lundgaard Lab, she completed her Ph.D. at the […]
Jari Jukkola
Jari got familiar with the glymphatic system in rodents during his Ph.D. studies in Oulu, Finland. He hopes to transfer his expertise in mice to pigs during his postdoctoral period in Lund. In his free-time, which is non-existent as a father of a 3-year-old, he writes fiction to flush his brain from work-related thoughts and […]
Kelley Swanberg
Kelley Swanberg is a biomedical engineer with a specialization in magnetic resonance (MR), including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and especially in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS). During her career thus far Kelley has engaged in both methodological and applied investigations of MRI/S and its uses in both the lab and clinic, in addition to previous work […]
Tekla Kylkilahti
Tekla hails from Finland, so winter in Lund feels like a summer holiday to her! Tekla has a BSc in Anatomy and Developmental Biology from King’s College London and a MSc in Molecular Biology from Lund University. Her favourite pastime is shocking people with her transparent optically cleared mice and scanning her friends with the […]
Na Liu
Na is from Guangzhou, a warm southern city of China. During her Master’s program in China, she found her research passion in studying the glymphatic system. She wants to gain more research experience before going back to clinical training to become a neurologist. This is the reason she came to Sweden for a Ph.D. journey, […]
Bo Chen
M.Sc. in Neurosurgery Bo is from Tianjin, a vibrant city in northern China. He completed his Master’s degree in Neurosurgery at Tianjin Medical University, where he trained under two leading neurosurgeons, Professors Jianning Zhang and Rongcai Jiang.
