Soft Matter in Life Core Group member, LINXS Fellow

Professor, Lund University, Lund, Sweden

Anna is a soft matter scientist specializing in scattering methods and their application to life science, working mainly with physiologically and pharmaceutically relevant proteins (monoclonal antibodies, eye lens proteins etc.) using a colloid approach to protein interactions and solution properties. Her current research focuses on phasebehavior, structure, dynamics and flow behavior of concentrated protein solutions and mixtures with a particular interest in protein dynamics under crowded conditions, phase separation and dynamical arrest, as well as novel concepts for high concentration protein formulations. Anna obtained her PhD in Physical Chemistry in Graz/Austria, then moved to Switzerland where she worked as a postdoc and then as a tenured senior scientist at the Physics Department in Fribourg. In 2008 she did her Habilitation (Venia Legendi) in Experimental Physics before she transferred her activities in 2011 to Lund University, Division of Physical Chemistry.
