My name is Elin Netland Opheim, and this week I take over as editor of “K2Nytt”. I have been a PhD candidate since March 2013,  working on the project “Monitoring of thromboelastography, platelet function and platelet recovery in hemato-oncologic patients with thrombocytopenia”. My work place is at the Department of Immunology and Transfusion Medicine in the Laboratory Building, and I can be contacted by e-mail: elin.opheim@uib.no.
