About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher in cancer proteomics, with a particular interest in glioblastoma and plasma proteomics. I defended my PhD thesis at
the Karolinska Institute, titled "Discovering circulating protein biomarkers through in-depth plasma proteomics".

Overall, I have a profound interest in learning and combining biomedical research skills on the molecular, clinical, and epidemiological level, aiming to improve diagnostics and therapeutics of cancer. Methodologically, I am interested in proteomics, proteogenomics, research design, medical statistics, and bioinformatics.

Research

My current primary research focus is glioblastoma proteomics. We aim to discover protein biomarkers circulating in blood plasma, which can stratify glioblastoma patients with regards to treatment and prognosis. Broadly, I have an interest in cancer proteomics and precision medicine.
