About me

  • Passionate about Immunology and research.
    In love with communicating research. You will see me in scientific
    conferences and in divulgate events such as Women in Science or Pint of
    Science.
    I also enjoy helping other people to grow, that’s why I’m an active
    member of the Karolinska Postdoc Association (KIPA) and a mentor in the
    Euraxess mentoring program.
    However, not everything is about work, in my free time, you can find me
    dancing, climbing, and painting.

Research

  • My experience in research has been relatively multidisciplinary, trying to
    unite nanotechnology with immunology. This fact has allowed me to realize the
    need for joint work among many different disciplines with the common goal of
    continuing to advance in scientific and technological development.
    Now, during my postdoctoral studies, I continue in the field of autoimmune
    diseases, this time with rheumatoid arthritis in the project focusing on the
    development of a tolerogenic peptide-based vaccine.
