In autumn 2010, the Molecular Environment Group was established at the Institute of Arctic and Marine Biology at the University of Tromsø. The members of this young group with its unique composition of expertise in molecular and cellular biology, plant physiology, microscopy and microbial ecology met at the beginning of March for a 3-day retreat in the Finnish Kilpisjärvi.

The objectives of this first retreat were:

  • to get an overview about current research and the people involved
  • to discuss future interactions in an environment distant from the working place
  • to develop a cooperation concept exploiting internal synergies and new research frontiers

 

Research group leader Kirsten Krause gives a short résumé of the 1st lab retreat of the Molecular Environments Group at the Departement of Arctic and Marine Biology.

“This weekend in Kilpisjärvi increased our awareness of the wide spectrum of research topics in our group and pointed out the extensive methodological potential we have at our disposition.
When founded, the Molecular Environments Group has consciously accepted the challenge to combine molecular interrelations at subcellular level with ecological processes on an ecosystem scale and this retreat was a vital step to continue the determination of the group to create something new and exciting”, says Kirsten Krause. Bioinformatics could be one potential link between the different fields of research in the future.

Overall, the retreat that was organized by the four postdocs of the research group and was attended by researchers, technicians and students alike succeeded in consolidating the group and will be followed up by annual repeats.

Talks presented at the 1st Lab retreat

The focus of the talks was on the outlook, on future challenges and perspective of the work rather than giving a status report. To get futher information please take contact personally.
