About me

  • I am currently affiliated with research at the Unit of Biochemical
    Toxicology, the Institute of Environmental Medicine. The unit performs
    studies to understand the connection between chemicals and cancer. We employ
    Text mining-based approach for the analyses of databases and cellular
    models to study the mechanisms behind chemically-induced carcinogenesis.
    Awardee of NSERC Fellowship for postdoctoral studies in Health Canada 2014
    Awardee of HEC Overseas Scholarship for Postgraduate studies 2007-2011
    PhD (Toxicology)

Research

  • Identification of potential hazards posed by environmental contaminants
    through toxicological and mechanistic studies, in parallel with
    epidemiological studies is very important in order to establish a link
    between exposure and human diseases. The main focus of my research projects
    are
  • * to characterize and investigate the role of oxidative stress in cancer
    susceptibility differences between men and women
    * use of text mining-based CRAB tool to aid in the process of risk
    assessment. https://sites.google.com/site/crabtextmining/home
    * to semantically classify the scientific literature according to Hallmarks
    of Cancer and literature-based discoveries

Teaching

  • In addition to the research activity, I am teaching toxicolgy-related topics
    to the students in International Master Program in Toxicology and
    Biomedicine, at Karolinska Institutet.
