Science is a team effort, and in our lab, we believe that great teamwork extends beyond just our experiments. Whether we’re collaborating in the lab or enjoying time together at social events, we work as a team and strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and supported. This gallery showcases some of the moments we’ve shared – from lab celebrations to group outings – that reflect our dedication not just to science, but to building a strong and connected team.
