Pouda Panahandeh, M.Sc.
PhD Candidate M.Sc. NTNU 2015 Email: Pouda.Panahandeh@uib.no I have a bachelor degree in Cellular and Molecular biology at the University of Tehran. I completed my master degree in molecular medicine at the genomic study of the LEE island in shiga-toxin Escherchia coli. Here in Halberg lab, as a PhD candidate, I utilize in silico and in vitro systematic study to better understand breast cancer development as well as developing new drug treatments for triple-negative breast cancer patients. |

Xiaozheng Liu, M.Sc.
PhD Candidate M.Sc. University of Bergen 2016 Email: Xiaozheng.Liu@student.uib.no Xiaozheng Liu joined the Halberg lab as a master student in 2016 and started her PhD project in 2017. Her project employs system biology methods to understand at a molecular level the malignant cellular phenotypes that characterize cancer cells selected by an obese environment and how these promote cancer progression in obese breast cancer patients. |

Line Petersen, M.Sc.
PhD Candidate M.Sc. University of Bergen 2015 Email: Line.Petersen@uib.no Line Pedersen joined the Halberg lab in 2015 as a PhD student. Her project focuses on establishing animal models for studying the cancer-obesity connection in vivo. Line also applies metabolic analysis combined with modern molecular biology to understand underlying mechanisms of breast cancer tumorigenesis |

Anastassia Rulina, PhD.
Postdoctoral Fellow PhD. University Grenoble Alpes, 2015 Email: anastasiia.rulina@uib.no Google Scholar My interest lies in the area of cancer development and metastasis. From epidimiological data follows that obese cancer patients have worse prognosis, compared to patients with normal weight. I want to identify molecular drivers of this agressive phenotype of obesity-related cancers. To do so, I perform functional screening using CRISPR-Cas9 technology in obese models. In the future, I hope this work will lead to the improvement of the treatment of obese cancer patients. |

Hilde Eide Lien
Master Student B.Sc. University of Bergen Email: Hilde.Lien@student.uib.no I am from Bergen and I took my bachelor in molecular biology at UIB. I am currently doing my masters in biomedicine in the Halberg lab, where I work with time of flight mass cytometry to characterize different cell populations within the obese and non-obese tumor microenvironment in mice. |

Kristine Marie Monsen
Master Student B.Sc. University of Bergen Email: Kristine.Monsen@student.uib.no I am from Bergen but did my Bachelor's degree of biomedicine in Tromsø. I am currently in Bergen working on my Master's degree in biomedicine where I am investigating cancer subpopulation dynamics in obese environments. |
