About me
Molecular biologist, PhD in Tumor biology and Docent at KI. Joined employment as a Team leader and a coordinator at OnkPat.
Honored and passionate to be an environment and sustainable development delegate at OnkPat (miljö- och hållbarhetsombud).
Research description
Main focus is to find novel biomarkers and drug targets to enable for a more precision-based anti-cancer therapy, and, through the analysis of molecular landscape of cancer cells, find therapeutic approaches to overcome therapy resistance to the drugs used in anti-cancer treatment.
Some research projects of the past and at present
Autophagy in cancer and anti-cancer therapy
Vps34 inhibitors in anti-cancer therapy
Mechanisms of glucocorticoid-induced cell death in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Targeting autophagy and lysosomal degradation in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Maintaining a sample collection of live-frozen primary cancer cells from patients with acute leukemia
STAT3 as a target for anti-cancer therapy
STAT3 and IFN-induced genes in therapy resistance in multicellular spheroids
Teaching portfolio
Participation in the teaching at the course “Molecular oncology and biostatistics” in Biomedicine at KI; examiner at Biomedicine program; coordinator at Degree Project in Medicine; supervision of bachelor and master degree projects, principle and co-supervisor of PhD students
