LIMB Alumna promoted as Head of Unit at the CTMR, Karolinska Institutet
Dr. Valerie Diane Valeriano has recently been promoted to "Head of Unit" (Swedish Enhetschef) of the Culturomics team after two years as a research engineer and team leader at the Center for Translational Microbiome Research, Department of Tumor, Cell and Microbiology at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm. Her team's main work revolves around research and development of live microbiome therapeutic drugs, focusing on development of novel technologies and high throughput applications for "translating" the clinical microbiome research performed at CTMR into potential products that can be further assessed and brought into the clinical trials. Her team currently operates with close cooperation and support from Ferring Pharmaceuticals, and Rebiotix, a Ferring Company.
Prior to this, she was also a postdoctoral researcher at MIMS (Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden, Umeå University) which is part of the Nordic EMBL partnership for molecular medicine. She worked under the Fällman group and operated under an umbrella project “A multi-scale approach to understanding the mechanisms of mobile DNA driven antimicrobial resistance transmission” with research groups from EMBL-Heidelberg, Germany and Mc Master University, Canada.
