Group Values

Research Environment

We strive to create a friendly, supportive, and motivating atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. We emphasize the crucial role of mentorship, teaching, and camaraderie within our group, knowing that mutual support strengthens us all. Open and respectful communication is key; we encourage active listening and constructive feedback. We believe that a healthy work-life balance is important for maintaining both a good mental and physical health and crucial for fostering an innovative and creative mind. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy against harassment, bullying, and any form of discrimination.

Research Integrity

Research integrity is the basic principle of our research. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of good scientific practice in all our research activities, from experiment design to data analysis and dissemination. We pride ourselves on being critical and transparent with our results, ensuring our methods are sound, our data are accurate, and our findings are reproducible. We respect and properly attribute intellectual property, always giving credit where it's due and recognizing the contributions of others. Our commitment to integrity ensures the trustworthiness and impact of our scientific contributions.

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)

Our group is deeply committed to the principles of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion. We firmly believe that a diverse team enriches our research and fosters innovation. We ensure everyone in the lab is treated equally, valuing each member for their unique perspectives and contributions. We particularly welcome members of all gender identities, sexual orientations, disabilities, international and cultural backgrounds, religions, or skin colours to our team that share our democratic values. We also encourage caretakers to join our group and are committed to finding flexible solutions to accommodate their responsibilities.
