Presentation

My name is Per Uhlén and I am PhD student at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. The name of my supervisor is Dr. Hjalmar Brismar. In March of 1998 I received my Master of Science in Physics from The Royal Institute of Technology. My diploma work was to build a 3D TOFPET system, which I did together with my fellow-student Mikael Steén.

Research

My research concerns development of different methods for fluorescence microscopy in cell biology. I am currently developing a ratiometric system for intracellular measurements. I am also involved in a research project, together with Oleg Aizman M.D., were we are studying the regulation of the sodium pump in neuronal cells from 18 days old rat embryos. Our interest is the effect of different neurotransmitters and hormones, such as dopamine and NMDA receptor agonists, on intracellular sodium homeostasis.
