Ingemar von Ossowski

Presently, I am a research project scientist at Aalto University working on a fixed-term contract. I also hold an honorary position as Docent (Adjunct Professor) in Molecular Microbiology from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Helsinki. I had majored in microbiology, earning undergraduate and graduate degrees from the Department of Microbiology at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. My prior research positions were in both academia and industry, and as well internationally for extended periods. My intellectual drive is fueled by a scientific and creative curiosity to study research topics in the areas of molecular microbiology, protein chemistry, and microbial genomics, along with a keen interest to take on protein engineering and structural-related projects. Aside from research, I have also provided ad hoc lecturing and training support for course topics in molecular microbiology. In my spare time, I enjoy hobby fishing, listening to 70s era music, and walking the family dogs. I am also an ice hockey fan and avid reader of biographies and cold war-themed spy novels.

At the moment, I am actively pursuing the prospect of new career opportunities and challenges.
