Welcome to Aurelie
We welcome Aurelie Baudet to the lab!
In the mini-bones team, she will be focusing on therapy escape in AML, characterizing the response of patient-derived xenografts (conventional and ossicles) to treatment and comparing it to the evolution of the disease in the patient. By tackling the mechanism behind disease relapse, we aim at developing tools predictive of patient’s response to treatment.

Welcome Patrizia
She has a bachelor's degree in Molecular Medicine from the University of Göttingen in Germany. Since the last two years she has been studying her master’s studies in Molecular Medicine at Uppsala University. Before coming to Lund, she was studying for 6 months at Ghent University, as part of the Erasmus program, to take courses in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. During her master thesis in our lab, she will investigate the batch-to-batch variation of the MSOD-B cell line and the impact on the quality of 3D-engineered cartilage tissues.
