As the Head of the Centre for Cellular Imaging at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, Head of the Integrated Microscopy Unit at the SciLifeLab Infrastructure in Gothenburg, and co-Director of the Swedish National Microscopy Infrastructure, I am deeply involved in shaping the landscape of imaging research both nationally and internationally. Additionally, I serve as the Vice-chair of the Panels of Node for the Euro-BioImaging-ERIC and President of the Core Technologies for Life Sciences Association.
With a background in Cell and Molecular Biology, I oversee an open-access Correlative Multimodal Imaging Facility that integrates multiple imaging technologies and image analysis into a single core, ensuring technical and scientific excellence. With over 22 years of experience in launching, implementing, and managing research infrastructures and training activities at both the National and International levels, I am dedicated to fostering the next generation of microscopists. I achieve this through supervising core internships and ERASMUS students in bioimaging, promoting future career possibilities within core facility work.
Beyond my local responsibilities, I actively contribute to the European imaging community, serving on the Steering Committee of the European Light Microscopy Initiative (ELMI), being a member of The Global BioImage Analysts’ Society (GloBIAS), and participating as a partner in the EU-funded project Research Infrastructure Training (RItrainPlus). I am also deeply engaged in the Nordic Microscopy Society (SCANDEM) and the Bridging Nordic Microscopy Infrastructure (BNMI) as a member of their respective boards. Moreover, I lend my expertise to various national and international scientific advisory boards and expert review panels, further solidifying my commitment to advancing the field of imaging research. Through these multifaceted roles, I am instrumental in recruiting and nurturing the next generation of microscopists, ensuring the long-term success of the CCI and the University of Gothenburg’s imaging initiatives.
