Soft Matter in Life Core Group member and co-leader of WG1 (Higher complexity in lipid self-assembly), LINXS Fellow

Associate Professor, SciLifeLab, KTH, Stockholm, Sweden

Hanna is a lipid biophysicist who specializes inusing X-ray and neutron scattering to study structure and function in lipid assemblies. This includes engineering and characterising planar and curved bulk phases and studying how nano particle structure can give mechanistic insights into their release properties. Her current research focuses on understanding the impact of health and disease on the biophysical properties of lipid membranes in cells and correlating this to the function of lipid pharmaceuticals. Hanna obtained her PhD in Chemical Biology of Health and Disease from Imperial College London (UK) and after her first PostDoc moved to Karolinska Institutet, Sweden as a research fellow. From 2022-2024 she was also Head of Biophysics at NanoVation Therapeutics, a lipid nanoparticle development company. In 2024 she moved to SciLifeLab, KTH where she is an Associate Professor.
