Celebrating our Third Grant!

I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you all. Our team at the Kohler Proteostasis Lab has secured our third research grant! This significant boost for our 2024 research is generously provided by Konung Gustaf V:s och Drottning Victorias Stiftelse.

The journey to this point has been nothing short of incredible. It began with drafting a successful pre-proposal early in May, before I even signed the contract for my position. The honour of being selected to write and submit a full proposal by the end of October was a testament to the potential seen in our work. Today’s decision feels like an early Christmas present!

Securing three grants within the first three months of starting this lab has been a humbling experience. It’s a reminder that success is often a blend of hard work, dedication, and a bit of luck.

I am deeply grateful for the support we’ve received and excited for the opportunities that lie ahead in 2024. This grant will enable us to delve deeper into our research and contribute to the scientific community in meaningful ways.

Thank you to our generous sponsors for believing in our vision and supporting our research. As we look forward to the new year, we are filled with anticipation for the exciting journey that lies ahead.

Remember, success isn’t just about hard work. It’s also about being in the right place, at the right time, and doing the right thing. Here’s to an exciting year of discovery and growth!

Celebrating our Second Grant

I am excited to announce that we, at the Kohler Proteostasis Lab, have been awarded a significant research grant from the Kempe Foundation! This grant, amounting to 2 million SEK, will enable us to acquire essential equipment and support our experimental approaches.

Securing this grant was no small feat. It involved a lot of hard work and dedication, even before I officially started my position. Amidst the chaos of moving our lives from Austria to Graz, I was writing this grant proposal. It was a challenging time, but looking back, it was definitely worth it.

This news came just before bedtime, so you can imagine how well I slept that night (Insomnia due to excitement is ok, though).

This generous grant will greatly enhance our understanding of the Ageing Chaperome. It’s an incredible opportunity that I am extremely thrilled about.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Celebrating Our First Grant

I'm absolutely thrilled to share some wonderful news – the Kohler Proteostasis Lab has been awarded its very first grant! With immense gratitude to the Faculty of Medicine at Umeå University, we've received the Strategic Research Grant for 2023.

The path to this grant was quite the journey. Back in May, before even officially starting my work here in Umeå, I submitted this application. Fast forward to October, and we've been honoured with this fantastic opportunity. It's been a collective effort, and I’m deeply appreciative of the unwavering support and encouragement I have received along the way from my colleagues and the broader scientific community.

This grant is a significant stepping stone for the lab, providing a two-year window to delve into the captivating world of proteostasis and its connections to ageing. We're excited to embark on this research endeavour with a sense of humility, knowing that we have much to learn and discover. We owe a heartfelt thank you to all who have played a part in our journey. Stay tuned for updates as we continue our mission to expand our understanding of proteostasis and aging, with the utmost dedication and passion.
