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.
