  • Jan 2016 - Oct 2017

  I studied the genetic and hormonal regulation of stem cell differentiation during root secondary growth. My work included molecular biology and genetics related experimental design and optimization, data analysis and interpretation. I enjoyed presenting my work and ideas to the academic community by giving talks and presenting posters.

• Postdoctoral Researcher

  • Dec 2011 - Dec 2015

  I worked on genetic regulation of flower and inflorescence development, authored five academic research papers, and gained a broader perspective on the topic by writing a review article (for full list of publications, see http://tuhat.halvi.helsinki.fi/portal/en/person/ broholm).

• Researcher/PhD student/teaching assistant

  • Mar 2004 - Apr 2009

  During my PhD studies, I learned fundamental skills on scientific work, such as designing and conducting experimental research, data analysis and interpretation in analytical and critical way, presenting my work both in written and oral form, and collaboration with international co-workers. I enjoyed teaching Bachelor's and Master's students in several biotechnology related laboratory courses. I learned laboratory skills in molecular biology, including PCR, qPCR, cloning, microarrays, histology and microscopy, yeast two-hybrid methods, and transformation of several different plant species.
