My job is constantly changing; new people, new methods, it drives me forward.
How did you end up at the Faculty of Medicine?
"In the last year of my education, we practiced in labs in different research groups. I did an internship with Per Belfrage (the one with the hall at D15) for the last six months and got a job there in 1986. First with Per Belfrage and then with Eva Degerman."
What do you do at work?
"My main task is to run trials and compile the trial results. Since I´m the only employee in Eva's research group, I take care of everything practical in the lab, such as orders, responsibility for flammable goods, KLARA inventories."
What do you like best about working here at the Faculty?
"I think it's fun to go to work every day! And I really enjoy working with my colleagues at C11, I think we have a good sense of community on the floor. I also have a fantastic boss (Eva Degerman), great freedom and can plan my time as it suits me. I can often work from home one day a week. I have quite a long commute, so it's nice to have that opportunity. My job is varied and I´m faced with many different problems that I have to solve, which is inspiring."
The most fun thing you've done at work, at the Faculty of Medicine?
"It's hard to pick something out after so many years here, (soon 40), but the move from the Chemistry Centre here to BMC in 2000 was a lot of fun, a new era began, it felt like. We got brand new labs, we got to decide how we wanted to furnish and got to influence our work environment."
"I have also worked with many doctoral students over the years and this has been very rewarding and inspiring. I´ve worked so closely with their dissertations. I've gotten to know so many people here over the years. People ask, "Are you still here?" Yes, I'm still there, but my job is constantly changing; new people, new methods, it's a lot of fun and drives me forward.
The biennial BMA (Biomedical Analyst) Days have also been a highlight. It's lots of fun to meet others who work with similar things and get inspired.
