My name is William Nyberg and before moving to San Francisco I did my PhD at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. I started my postdoc in the Eyquem lab in August 2019. As a postdoc my focus is on developing CAR T cells targeting solid tumors as well as establishing efficient knock-in platforms for multiple immune cell types using AAVs. I’m a huge football fan (both the American and the European version) and I love to travel and explore new places.
