Our group consist of typically 10-15 people including professors, laboratory engineers, university lecturers, university researchers, Ph.D. students and M.Sc. students. We do a large amount of interdisciplinary and collaborational research with people from various backgrounds, i.e. biology, chemistry, health sciences, archaeology to name a few.
