Molecular Mechanisms of Ageing and Age-predisposed Alzheimer´s disease

Scientific Retreat

The Fang group organizes 1-2 scientific retreats each year in cities with scenic nature and / or historical heritages. We work hard, both in the lab and outdoor, enthusiastically and collaboratively to embrace the splendid future.


From 24 to 28 August 2026, the Evandro F. Fang (Fang-Stavem) Lab has its annual scientific retreat in Porto, Portugal. We thank Dr. Si-Fang Liao for the organization and wish Mr. Alexander D. Carlsson a splendid future in the next chapter. More details https://evandrofanglab.com/2026/08/27/2026-fang-lab-scientific-retreat/

14th Jan 2022: 2022 Fang lab Retreat (1st). To enjoy the nature of Norway and to celebrate the publication of the Nature Biomedical Engineering paper, as well as to welcome our New DPhil student Sasha, Adrian was asked to arrange this event. We had two bottles of wines and a bottle of 2-L champagne. The weather was perfect, sunshine, and a clear sky after sun set as we saw stars and the moon. We stayed at the -Duck Lack- for 6 hours. Such a nice event.
