New PhD student joins the lab.

Sara Hernández Pérez, our former Erasmus intern, will pack her suitcases in Spain, fly to Turku and join the lab as a PhD student! Sara is supported by the EDUFI (CIMO) fellowship. 

Baby in the lab! :)

A sweet baby boy was born in the end of August! Pieta will be on maternity leave and work mostly from home until early 2018.
