Tissue Development and Evolution

Sofie Mohlin

PI, Associate Professor in Molecular Physiology.
Originally from Sweden (Strängnäs).

MSc in Biological Engineering from Lund Faculty of Technology, Sweden.
PhD in Molecular Medicine from Lund University, Sweden.
Post-doc with Professor Marianne Bronner at California Institute of Technology, US, and at the department of Clinical Sciences, Lund University.

Interests in the lab:
Discuss science, come up with new ideas and writing up manuscripts with the (transient) feeling of completion. I relax by spending time at the microscope doing in ovo electroporations.

Interests outside the lab:
Enjoying sunshine in the shadow, swimming (not the exercise version), reading books – everything from young adult to scientific stories, feel-good and literary master pieces. I also love running (the exercise version, sometimes achieved by chasing my kids when they’re on their bikes) and yoga.
