As the lab grew, so did his responsibilities: from building computational models of GPCRs to guiding Over the years you see the lab establishing, and for both of us, of course, growing.”

His lab sits at the crossroads of structure-based modeling, computational chemistry, and drug discovery To tackle these, the lab employs molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and ligand-based For Carlsson, a prediction is only valid if it survives wet-lab testing.   The “Predict, Not Explain” Ethos What sets the Carlsson lab apart is its internal rule : results must The lab has witnessed both spectacular accuracy and puzzling failures.

Maria Majellaro, the transition from lab work to leadership wasn’t meticulously planned, it was a bold “I was good in the lab… but would I be good outside of it? That was the question I had to answer.
