Ellen Sjule

I hold an undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology from Uppsala University and a Master’s degree in Molecular Life Science jointly awarded by Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Stockholm University. During my Master’s studies, I worked as a research assistant in the Erdinc Sezgin group at SciLifeLab, contributing to projects in synthetic biology, advanced light microscopy, and T cell efferocytosis. I then joined the Michael Dustin group at the Kennedy Institute at the University of Oxford for my Master’s thesis and a short-term fellowship, where I used lattice light-sheet microscopy and computer vision to study protein distribution across the T cell membrane.

I joined the Paul Klenerman group in late 2025 to pursue a DPhil in Clinical Medicine. I am broadly interested in how cytokines and co-stimulatory signals are integrated to regulate unconventional T cell responses. My work combines spectral flow cytometry, microscopy, and single-cell approaches to study these processes.
