Nicole and Koen start in the lab

With the new year our lab also welcomes two new members. Nicole Repina who did her PhD at UC Berkeley in the lab of David Schaffer and Koen Oost who did his PhD at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in the lab of Hugo Snippert both started their PostDoc. Their start coincides with Epiphany where Swiss traditionally eat the ‘Dreikönigskuchen’ - a ring of sweet bread buns with a little plastic king hidden in one of them. The person finding the king in their bun gets to wear a golden paper crown - and both Nicole and Koen were the lucky ones. We welcome our new queen and king to the lab and wish them all the best for their projects!
