LINXS Newsletter is out!
LINXS - from spring to midsummer
In this edition you will find a summary of the activities throughout the spring to midsummer’s day. The LINXS Science Day at the end of April (Rebooting from the pandemic) had a very high turnout and for most of the delegates was their first real life workshop/conference event for two years. It was an excellent day with an action-packed agenda.
There has since been a huge range of activity including the kickoff event of a new theme called Integrative Pharmacology and Drug Discovery (IPDD). The 3rd Integrated Structural Biology (ISB) conference was held directly afterwards at Kulturen in Lund and was also very successful. There have been a countless range of other activities, including several events at the Medical Faculty relating to imaging, both at Lund and at Malmo. There was a Northern Lights on Food workshop in early June, a magnetic SANS workshop focussed on data analysis and software, and the BESS conference on lipid bilayers held at the Scandic Star Hotel in Lund.
As with most of the events since the start of LINXS, these recent events have been superbly managed by Åsa Grunning. Åsa leaves LINXS at the end of July. Her competence, experience, and connectivity in the national and international communities will be sadly missed. She has been with LINXS since the beginning and has been crucial to its development from a small outfit in a single room to the blossoming institute now situated at the IDEON science park. She will be missed by the staff, postdocs, students, theme scientists and visitors for what she has done in tirelessly helping support and facilitate their activities at LINXS.
In other news we welcome two excellent new postdocs who will be working from the LINXS offices – Sebastian Köhler who will work on the GISANS SAGA project, and Daniel Sarabi, the LMK funded scientist working on the molecular bass of transthyretin amyloidosis.
