Discover Liver
About Us
The liver is not traditionally seen as a pretty organ but we beg to differ.
We have been studying the liver biology for over 7 years using microscopy approaches. We have learnt that there is more to the liver than the red-brown mass one can see on the outside. We are motivated to share with you the beauty we see at our work on daily basis.

Meet The Team
Lenka Belicova
Lenka is currently a MSCA postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Emma R. Andersson at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm.
​
She studies liver development and regeneration and is interested into how liver cells decide who they want to be and together build a functional liver tissue.
Elisabeth Verboven
Eli is is currently a MSCA postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Emma R. Andersson at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm.
​
She studies liver development and is especially interested in how different systems - including bile ducts, blood vesssels and nerves - communicate with each other during development. She uses light sheet microscopy to visualize the different network systems inside the liver in 3D.
Estela Del Mar Sosa Osorio
Estela is currently a bachelor student in Biomedicine at Karolinska Institutet.
​
Estela works together with Lenka on microscopy analysis of liver development and acquired many of the images presented on the website.
Paulina Zydowicz Machtel
Paulina is a postdotoral researcher at Emma R. Andersson's lab at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm.
​
She is interested in gene regulation in the liver and uncovering how we can leverage the principles behind towards gene therapy solutions.
