Helene Knævelsrud
- Visiting scientist
- +47 22 78 19 65
Helene leads a project group centered around two main goals 1) to understand how autophagy is turned off - and how this impacts physiology and cancer 2) to identify novel therapies for MLL-rearranged leukemia with the help of a fruit fly model of leukemia.

Nacho García
- Senior scientist
- +47 22 78 19 68
Nacho joined the Enserink group in 2013. In 2017 he obtained a 4 year researcher fellowship to combine classical drug screenings with state-of-the-art computational approaches to find new drugs to treat drug-resistant fungal infections in cancer patients.

Pilar Ayuda-Durán
- Postdoc
- +47 22 78 19 70
Pilar joined the Enserink group as a post-doctoral researcher in January 2014 with a 2-years grant funded by the Fundación Alfonso Martín Escudero. She works in a personalized-medicine platform for leukemia patients, testing the sensitivity of primary cells from patients or healthy donors to a panel of anticancer drugs.
