Towe Jakobsson

Employed at Karolinska University Hospital as an engineer and lab responsible at PMI-Lab, at CLINTEC.

The lab is placed in ANA Futura in Campus Flemingsberg.

My role involves making the purchases of laboratory consumables, chemicals and some equipment. I make sure the instruments in our lab are performing well, that the chemicals are stored safely and I set up the rules in the lab. 
I suggested that PMI-Lab should start an environment and sustainability work and get certified by My green lab. We have now achieved a platinum medal in the important environment and sustainability work.

My main work is to set up methods and run our own gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GS-MS) on patient material but I also do sample preparation on the material for other universities to run other analyses.

Employed at Karolinska Institutet as Chemical representative, Environment and sustainability representative and vice manager of flammable products for CLINTEC.
As the representative of chemical I am the link between the KI main coordinator of chemicals and the CLINTEC labs. I make sure to remind the groups to do the yearly chemical inventory, I inform if there are new or changed rules or routines to work with certain chemicals.

As the representative of environment and sustainability I work with My green lab action tips to reach out to every lab member in CLINTEC as well as KI as a whole. 

I am responsible to distribute KI central information of laws, rule and routines down to each unit at CLINTEC as well as reporting back how the environmental work is going at CLINTEC.
