Our Team
Marissa Maciej-Hulme
BSc MRes PhD
Senior Researcher/Associate Professor, Oslo Metropolitan University
Marissa is curious about proteoglycans and their multiple roles in biology. Her research aims to develop advanced tools and methods focused on proteoglycans to understand their structural details in relation to their function(s), illuminating their roles in human health and disease.
Victoria Le
BSc Biosciences
Victoria is a Masters student at the University of Oslo creating CRISPR edited proteoglycan cell models to investigate proteoglycan structure:function relationships in lung cancer.
Vebjørn Brændshøi
BSc Biosciences
Vebjørn is a Masters student at the University of Oslo creating CRISPR edited proteoglycan cell models to investigate proteoglycan structure:function relationships in breast cancer.
Amici Nybråten
Final Year in BSc Biosciences
Amici is a final year student at the University of Oslo creating software (GlycoVar) to investigate glycosylation sites and their effect on proteases for proteoglycan analysis by glycoproteomics.
Collaborators
Professor, Oslo Metropolitan University
Niclas is a glycochemist interested in N- and O-glycomics for human health, particularly of osteoarthritis. He is collaborating on the integration of GAGomics with N- and O-glycomics for multi-glycomic analyses from a single sample.
Professor, Soka University
Kiyoko is a computer scientist collaborating on the development of infomatics infrastructure to generate an online, open access database for proteoglycan structures.
Professor, University of Oslo
Kristian has a long standing interest in proteoglycans and the Golgi apparatus. He is collaborating on the development of precise proteoglycan structures to unpick their function(s).
Postdoc, Oslo University Hospital
Sean develops human liver organoids as avatars to model liver diseases in vitro. He is interested in the changes and role(s) of protein glycosylation during early development.
Professor, Group Leader and Head of Department, Oslo University Hospital
Runar is a clinician in pediatrics specialising in liver diseases in the Department of pediatric research at OUH. He is interested in novel glyco-biomarkers of cholestasis and liver cancer in children.
