Meet the Team!


Principal investigator: Anders Mutvei, PhD


I was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden, where I also did my PhD work in Dr. Urban Lendahl's lab at Karolinska Institutet, studying the role of Notch signaling in cancer. Following my PhD, I carried out a postdoc with Dr. John Blenis at Weill Cornell Medicine / Harvard Medical School, where I studied how dysregulation of lysosome organisation and abundance affect cell growth. Outside of lab, I love music and to drink a beer or two from time to time.

Spyridon Pantelios

PhD student

I grew up in Greece, completing my B.Sc. in Biology at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. There I discovered my passion for molecular cell biology and cancer research, which brought me to Sweden, where I obtained my Masters in Cell and Molecular Biology from Uppsala University. For my masters’ thesis, I joined the Anders Mutvei lab investigating how cancer cells reprogram their metabolism, which is also the focus of my PhD. Outside the lab I like to spend my time gardening or tinkering with various DIY projects.
