Meet Niclas Lindqvist, one of our scientistis who are working on development of the DBS-probe. His work mainly focuses on the gelatin, which is a part of the probe, and it involves performing tests and experiments to optimize the function of the DBS-probe.

- What motivates you most in your work? 
One part is the pure technical work which I like, and I enjoy to be close to the action in the laboratory, where things happen. Another part is that we are developing a device which will improve the quality of life for many people, this is important. 

- What experiences or history have helped you fit at Neuronano? 
My basic training includes a MSc in biotechnology, and a MSc in toxicology. I have a PhD in Developmental Neuroscience, and my thesis focused on counteraction of cell death in the central nervous system. After my PhD, I did a postdoc in Spain on receptor signaling necessary for cell survival, and a postdoc in Germany on glial cell responses to mechanical stress. My background is mainly in neuroscience, and have experience in method development. I think this helps in my current role. It is stimulating to be able to work in a scientific field that you have been trained in for many years. 

- What would you say is your contribution to Neuronano's success? 
As my work is mainly lab-oriented, I think it is there that my main contribution is.
