I run my own lab at Umeå University. I learned about OpenWetWare from WebWatch in BioTechniques, and I've joined because it is a very good idea to share experience, protocols, etc..

Education

• 1982, PhD, Umeå University

Research interests

1. The spectrin-based membrane skeleton, in particular structure and function of spectrin
2. The phylogeny and development of alpha-actinins
