Hi, my name is Torsten Waldminghaus, and I'm currently at Postdoc at the Norwegian Radium Hospital, Oslo. I learned about [[OpenWetWare]] from I was let to oww by google, searching for different protocols., and I've joined because I just starte my PostDoc time and I'm going to set up a bunch of methods that have not been done in my new lab. So I benefited a lot from protocols on the internet for example from oww. Since those systems just work if people are willing to investigate some time and share their experiences I thought it might be a good idea to take part..  You can [[Special:Emailuser/Torsten Waldminghaus|email me through OpenWetWare]].

Hi, my name is Torsten Waldminghaus, and I'm PI of the [[Waldminghaus | Waldminghaus Lab]]. I was let to [[OpenWetWare]] by google years back, searching for certain protocols.

The first step is to familiarize yourself with a wiki.  See below for some tips to customize this User page.  Don't be afraid to edit!  As with all pages on the wiki, all versions are saved so its easy to undo.


When you feel comfortable, we encourage you to remove this introduction and add content about yourself.

Me after being productive



Hi, my name is Torsten Waldminghaus, and I'm PI of the Waldminghaus Lab. I was let to OpenWetWare by google years back, searching for certain protocols. I benefit a lot from people sharing their protocols on the internet and thought it might be a good idea to also let the world participate on my wisdom and experince. If you still want to you can email me through OpenWetWare. Below I'll describe a bit more about myself and the stuff I'm interested in.
