Product presentations at customer sites (academic and corporate) in European countries, sampling customer feedback for the development team and providing own ideas. Also close collaboration with customer development and marketing departments.

- Scientific research in the field of neuroscience. Using patch-clamp recordings on living rodent brain slices combined with dynamic clamp application to study the pacemaker activity of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain (substantia nigra pars compacta). - Supervising and teaching students and technicians in lab-methods and skills - Teaching medical students Human Genetics and Physiologiy (problem-based-learning courses)

The M&C Officer is responsible for all UPPDA-related communications and the content of the website. Further, the officer works in an international team of 5 to look after the interests and needs of the 500+ postdocs of the University. The board organizes in collaboration with University Administration and Faculty professional events such as: scientific presentations for peers, seminars about career-development, soft-skills, ethics or immigration-law, a poster-session with official dinner, a family-picnic

Scientific research in cell physiology. Studying the pacemaker function of midbrain dopamine neurons with electrophysiology, immunocytochemistry and dynamic clamp.
