About me

  • I completed my PhD degree at the prestigious Karolinska Institute, where my
    research focused on investigating the utility of transcriptional gene
    expression signatures as a means to enhance therapy selection accuracy and
    improve outcomes for cancer patients.
    In 2019, during my initial postdoctoral appointment at Stanford University, I
    had the privilege of conducting research in the field of personalized cancer
    medicine. Specifically, I explored "immune hot" cancer types such as Triple
    Negative Breast Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, and Melanoma, with the goal of
    advancing our understanding of these diseases and improving treatment
    strategies.
    Subsequently, in 2020, I joined UCSF and became an integral part of a
    laboratory that made significant contributions to the StandUp2 Cancer WCDT
    cohort. This cohort represents the largest gathering of patients with
    metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in the United
    States.
    Currently at KI, I hold a senior researcher position within the
    Rodriguez-Wallberg's research team, where my area of expertise lies in
    bioinformatics.

Research

  • My primary research interest revolves around investigating the intricate
    interplay between genomic and epigenomic changes in cancer development and
    progression, with a specific focus on prostate cancer. To comprehensively
    explore this field, I utilize cutting-edge multi-omics approaches, such as
    WGS, RNA-seq, and WGBS. Additionally, I incorporate ATAC-sequencing to gain
    valuable insights into the chromatin accessibility landscape. By conducting
    integrative research work in patients with prostate cancer, I aim to identify
    key molecular alterations that contribute to disease pathogenesis and
    ultimately pave the way for improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
