+								<h3>Karin Garefelt (PhD student)</h3>
 							</header>
-							<p>Meike has a background in molecular/microbiology from RWTH Aachen (DE) and University of Exeter (UK). She received her PhD in microbiology from the University of Copenhagen (DK) in June 2019, where she investigated plant-associated fungi using metabarcoding and transcriptomics. Her general research interest lies in microbe – environment interactions, how environmental factors influence microbial community abundance, composition, and functions in the environment.</p>
-							<p>Since September 2019, as a postdoctoral fellow at SciLifeLab and KTH, Meike develops molecular and bioinformatic methods to advance metabarcoding for higher taxonomic coverage and resolution. She applies these methods for environmental monitoring of plankton in the Baltic sea, with a special focus on non-indigenous species and harmful algae. This project - <a href="https://www2.umu.se/en/research/projects/dna-metabarcoding-of-marine-phytoplankton/">DNA-metabarcoding of marine phytoplankton</a> - is a collaboration with Umeå University and SMHI.</p>
+							<p>Karin studies marine microbiomes in the seas around Sweden, focusing on transforming large datasets into ecological insights about plankton communities. She is working with high-throughput technologies, and combines high-throughput imaging (Imaging FlowCytobot) with metabarcoding to integrate and compare the different types of information. The research involves fieldwork on research ships, lab work and bioinformatic analysis. </p>
+							<p>Karin first joined ENVGEN for her MSc thesis in Industrial and Environmental Biotechnology at KTH, and continued the prioject into her PhD project (2023-). Since January 2026, she’s been collaborating with the Baltic Sea Center to study atmospheric emissions from phytoplankton at Askö Laboratory.</p>

-								<h3>Ela Iwaszkiewicz (Postdoc)</h3>
-							</header>
-							<p>Ela is an evolutionary geneticist interested in uncovering and understanding the diversity of life. She received her PhD in 2018 at the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology, Germany. In her PhD research Ela used transcriptomics to observe how hybridization facilitated rapid local adaptation and speciation in fish.</p>
-							<p>Currently she's a postdoctoral researcher within the <a href="http://kaw.wallenberg.org/en/research/dna-sequencing-gives-fresh-knowledge-about-insects">Insect Biome Atlas (IBA)</a>, where she's developing and implementing a metabarcoding approach to describe insect fauna of Sweden. Ela is sharing her time between the Natural History Museum, Piotr Lukasik's lab at Jagiellonian University and SciLifeLab.</p>

-								<h3>Maria Prager (Research Engineer)</h3>
-							</header>
-							<p>Maria completed a PhD in animal ecology in 2010, at the University of Gothenburg. She explored the evolutionary origins of biodiversity, focusing on sexually selected signal traits, such as bright carotenoid coloration and elongated tails in birds. Specifically, Maria combined reflectance colorimetry, liquid chromatography (HPLC) and molecular systematics to test phylogenetic, mechanistic and ontogenetic explanations of evolutionary divergence in the African widowbirds and bishops (Euplectes spp.).</p>
-							<p>Maria is a research engineer at the Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences (DEEP), at Stockholm University, and joined the Environmental Genomics group at Scilifelab in 2018. Together with Anders and collaborators at Uppsala and Linnaeus University, she works with mobilizing metabarcoding and metagenomics data into <a href="https://bioatlas.se/">Biodiversity Atlas Sweden</a>, now part of the <a href="https://biodiversitydata.se/">Swedish Biodiversity Data Infrastructure (SBDI)</a>.</p>

-							</header>
-							<p>Fernando has a background in chemical/process and environmental engineering. He received a PhD in 2009 at INP Toulouse and conducted postdoctoral studies at Claude Bernard University, CIRSEE (Suez's Research and Expertise Centre), and INSA-Lyon.</p>
-							<p>Recently, he completed his master's in bioinformatics at Lund University. Fernando joined ENVGEN in 2019 and is currently doing a PhD in Biotechnology, with focus on bioinformatics and machine-learning for microbiome analysis. In particular, as part of the EU-project <a href="https://www.biodiversa.eu/2022/10/26/baltvib/">BaltVib</a>, he conducts comparative genomics on a large collection of isolates of pathogenic Vibrio bacteria (Vibrio vulnificus) isolated from different regions of the Baltic Sea.</a>.</p>
