Join our dynamic research team at the University of Helsinki exploring the impact of cellular enlargement on stem cell function during aging. View our open positions at: jobs.helsinki.fi
Deadline: 25th July 2024
Very excited to have Insa join our lab as a summer student!
Over the moon to receive an ERC Starting Grant! We will study how the size of stem cells affects their function. Soon positions available!
Emilies research proposal was rated as excellent by EMBO!
My co-editor and I summarize the publications that were submitted to the Frontiers Research Topic.
Editorial – Cell Size Regulation: Molecular Mechanisms and Physiological Importance
It was a pleasure to visit Seoul National University, Hanyang University and KAIST in South Korea! Impressive research and science community. Hope to visit soon again! Many thanks to Prof. Chung, Prof. Shim and Prof. Lim.
Thanks to all mentors, colleagues and lab members at every step on the way. I am sure our upcoming journey will be just as much fun and excitement as it has been so far! 🥳
We are very excited for Di Wu joining the lab! He will investigate the mechanisms connecting changes in HSC size to their dysfunction.
Isabella is joining us as undergraduate student. We are very excited to have you part of the team!
Soham received an UH-funded doctoral candidate position for 3 years by the Doctoral Programme in Biomedicine. Very well deserved!
Excited to be selected in the three-year Fellows Program for promising early career researchers and established research leaders of the University of Helsinki!
Great work of Daniel, Kim, Soham and Jette:
The foundation distributes grants in the field of medical research. The Lengefeld lab will be supported to investigate how the microenvironment influences leukemia!
Thanks to Swedish Research Council for awarding us the Starting Grant! We will study how size affects blood stem cells
A new lab tradition is born 😀
We are very excited for Emilie joining the lab as postdoc! She will investigate the mechanisms connecting changes in HSC size to their dysfunction during age-related diseases. Stay tuned for her novel research approaches!
Mara joins us as part of her lab technician training. Great that you are part of the team!
Thanks to Sigrid Juselius Stiftelse for the amazing support to analyze how extrinsic factors affect the size of blood stem cells!
In this research topic, we strive to present a collection of papers showing specific examples of how cell size affects different aspects of cellular physiology during health and disease, and how cells regulate their size. Great opportunity: Submit you abstract/manuscript!
18 February 2022 Abstract
20 June 2022 Manuscript
Thanks to Instrumentarium Science Foundation for an amazing fellowship! We will continue our studies on how size affects blood stem cells!
The foundation distributes grants in the field of medical research. The Lengefeld lab will be supported to investigate how the microenvironment influences leukemia!
The Cancer Society of Finland aims aim to ensure a good quality of life for everyone, free from cancer and regardless of cancer. The Lengefeld lab will be supported to investigate cellular and molecular signals in leukemia initiation!
The Jeansson Stiftelser supports medical research by annually providing research grants. The Lengefeld lab will be supported to investigate how the size of stem cells affects their decline during aging and cancer.

Stem cell transplants are amazing. A patient's diseased blood is replaced by a relative or stranger's. But what does putting a blood system into a new body do to the cells? How many survive? Does it matter?
Out in @Nature today, we asked some basic Qs 👇
