SciLifeLab, Science for Life Laboratory, is a Swedishresearch center within molecular biosciences with fo-cus on health and environment. To further strength-en the research environment at SciLifeLab the centerregularly recruits young, talented research leaders tobecome SciLifeLab fellows. Each fellow is recruitedby one of the center host universities and receivesfunding from them.
One of the SciLifeLab fellows is Jens Carlsson, whowas recruited by Uppsala University/SciLifeLab fromStockholm University, Sweden, in 2015. Afer fnishinghis postdoctoral research at the University of Californiain San Francisco, Jens Carlsson returned to Swedenwhere he was born.
“I received a start-up grant from a Swedish foundationthat gave me the opportunity to build up an independ-ent research group at Stockholm University. I wantedto return to Sweden because family life, with two smallchildren, became very complicated in the US. In Swe-den, we are spoiled with generous parental leave and

subsidized day care – life iseasier here”
“I was working at the Stock-holm node of SciLifeLabwhen I applied for the fel-lows position. It is a won-derful place that connectedme to the other universitiesrepresented at the center inways that had not happenedbefore. Te relatively youngcommunity at SciLifeLabcreates a high ambition leveland the international re-cruitment has given rise to a great and diverse environ-ment, which I think will beneft research in Sweden formany years to come.”
Looking to recruit more peopleJens Carlsson’s research focuses on the family of G-Pro-tein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs). He uses computermodels of these receptors to understand how theywork at the atomic level. As GPCRs are important drugtargets, Jens and his colleagues also design small mole-cules that modulate receptor activity.
“Around 30-40% of all drugs target GPCRs so moreor less everyone will take one of these at some pointin their life.” Jens Carlsson said. “Instead of testingmillions of molecules experimentally as they do in thepharmaceutical industry, we can screen them on a su-per computer center over night and identify the mostpromising candidates at essentially no cost.”
Jens Carlsson’s frst PhD student recently graduatedand today his group consists of fve researchers. He isnow looking to recruit more students.
“I just had an interview with a candidate who I hopewill be the frst in my group to do experimental work.Tis will be very exciting because it will give me thepossibility to quickly test computational predictions ex-perimentally and thereby explore many new ideas.”
SciLifeLab – a national resource
SciLifeLab is a Swedish research center withinmolecular biosciences with focus on health andenvironment. It is also a national center with themission to develop, use and provide advanced tech-nologies. The center infrastructure encompasses amultitude of biomolecular technologies and bioin-formatics services. National funding makes SciLife-Lab’s services and expertise available to researchersin all of Sweden.
The center is a joint effort by four Swedish univer-sities (Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute ofTechnology, Stockholm University and Uppsala Uni-versity). Founded in 2010, the center today encom-passes more than 1 200 researchers mainly locatedin and around the two center nodes in Stockholmand Uppsala.

Positive Pressure Manifold
An alternative to the vacuum manifold,
the Presston 100 Positive Pressure
Manifold applies pressure from above
to pass liquids through the sample
preparation products. Presston 100
reduces the inconsistent pressures
inherent in vacuum techniques, and
its high-pressure capability enables
the separation of viscous samples.
Presston 100 is unique in that a single
unit can prepare samples in tubes or
96-well plates; other manufacturersí
manifolds require a separate unit for
each format. Presston 100 is compatible
with Phenomenex Strata solid-phase

of positive pressure, allows the user to do

Calls for Talents
All Over the WorldNationalUniversity ofDefense Technology
The National University of Defense Technology
(NUDT) is a comprehensive national key
university under the dual supervision of the
Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of
Education as designated by Project 211 and
Project 985. The University is located in
Changsha, a magnificent city enjoying thousands
of years of history. Over the past 60 years, NUDT
has accomplished a large number of advanced
scientific achievements, among which listed the
Galaxy series and Tianhe series of supercomputer
systems, Beidou Satellite Navigation System,
Medium and Lower Speed Maglev, Core Routers
and Unmanned Vehicles. The University has
played an important part in building an
innovation oriented country. After Tianhe-1
Supercomputing System, developed by NUDT,
shocked the world as the first Chinese
supercomputer topping the TOP500 list of
fastest supercomputers, Tianhe-2 has retained the
supremacy of TOP500 for 6 times and reigned as
World’s Best Supercomputer from 2013- 2015.
In order to accelerate the establishing of a leading
university, NUDT now welcomes outstanding
scholars and technicians all over the world to our
multidisciplinary faculty positions.
