About me
- I work as an Alliance Manager for partnerships between academia and industry. My main role is supporting KI researchers in establishing and maintaining different types of collaborations with our corporate partners. I have a PhD in Medical Sciences from Karolinska Institutet with a focus on pharmacology of cytostatic drugs in patients with hematological malignancies following conditioning regimens prior to HSCT.
Research
- My research was around studying the pharmacology of Busulphan, a cytostatic drug used in conditioning treatment prior to HSCT, and understanding the side effects such as hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity manifested in patients with hematological malignancies.
