Founding a new lab

The Hoffecker Lab will officially launch from May 1st 2021 as a new member in the Gene Technology Department, at KTH Royal Institute of Technology on the SciLifeLab campus in Stockholm. The funding making this possible comes from an ERC Starting grant , a starting grant from the Swedish Research Council (VR), co-financing from KTH's School of Engineering Sciences in Chemistry Biotechnology and Health (CBH), central funding from KTH, and a project grant from the Åke Wiberg Foundation.
