The overall aim of my group is to understand the molecular mechanism of malaria parasite gliding motility. For this, we use a wide variety of... Read more

This week, we have had the pleasure to welcome Léa Gelez as a trainee in our group in Oulu. Léa studies biology and biochemistry at the University of Lille in France and is currently doing an Erasmus exchange in Oulu. She will spend 8 weeks in our lab, learning and helping with actin mutagenesis and characterizing some interesting mutants.

We’re so happy to have Lucia working with us in the Haavik lab this year. Check out her perspective on being a Fulbright Scholar.

One of the things we have been missing a lot from "normality" is to visit our collaborators and friends and host them in our lab. As one step towards normal times, we had the pleasure to get Herwig Schüler from Lund to visit our lab in Bergen.
