Olav Mjaavatten

Senior Engineer
The Department of Biomedicine

Olav's main responsibilities are for the maintenance and running of the mass spectrometers and ancillary equipment available at PROBE. He is also involved in method development concerning protein and peptide separation and peptide quantification techniques using mass spectrometry on labelled/unlabelled peptides. In addition, he has responsibilities for handling sample preparation and analysis of service samples sent to PROBE, and performing necessary training in proteomics techniques for students and researchers.
