About us - Reproductive endocrinology and metabolism

I completed my PhD in the field of reproductive endocrinology at the University of Gothenburg (GU). This was followed by postdoctoral studies in Japan followed by research position at GU funded by Swedish Research Council (VR). 2015 I was recruited to the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at KI and I moved with my research group. I am PI for the Reproductive Endocrinology and Metabolism (REM)-group and our research focus on dissecting genetic versus epigenetic heritability in the transmission of PCOS and associated comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, endometrial dysfunctions, and mental-health disorders across generations by dissecting the molecular, mechanistic, and causal links, and to determine whether men can also transmit the disease. Recently we also start to investigate the role of the immune system in the pathology of PCOS.

I have a Master of Science in Biomedicine and the overarching objective of my PhD project is to determine the role of the immune system in the pathology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Using various in vivo models, I aim to characterize the immune profile and study the underlying mechanisms as well as the risk of transgenerational transmission.

I have a Master of Science in Biomedicine and in my PhD I am studying the transgenerational inheritance of PCOS-like phenotypes in both male and female offspring; and trying to dissect possible mechanisms of such transmission. Mouse models are important part of my project, while in vitro experiments and sequencing techniques are also applied with the help of specialists.

I have a Master of Science in Bioinformatics at Lund University, and I start my PhD studies in the Reproductive Endocrinology and Metabolism (REM) group during the fall 2021. My main objective is to generate and analyze single cell sequencing data from tissue biopsies from women with and without PCOS. Moreover, we have recently established endometrial organoids to unravel underlying mechanisms.

I completed my PhD of Genetics at Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. My research interest focusing on the epigenetic mechanisms of female reproductive diseases including embryo development and offspring health. I have experience and expertise in epigenetic and transcriptomic single cell and bulk sequencing and bioinformatic analysis.  I am involved in single cell RNA sequencing and DNA methylation of tissue biopsies from women with and without PCOS.

I am a visiting PhD student from the Medical University of Graz (Austria) through an EMBO fellowship award. I am studying the underlying interactions between B cell hypermutations and the hyperandrogenic hormonal milieu in PCOS, utilizing both human case-control exploratory studies as well as antibody and B cell extraction and transfer methods into different mouse models.

I am research specialist in reproductive endocrinology and germ cell biology at the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology. I am keen to apply my knowledge in female reproductive endocrinology, cell and molecular biology, embryo and oocytes manipulation, reproductive and metabolic phenotyping, cell and organ cultures, and animal models gathered along with more than ten years of academic training/research. I have worked extensively in translational medical research, mainly focusing on premature ovarian failure and PCOS.

I have a bachelor’s degree in biomedical laboratory science and started to work at KI 1980. Since 2016 I am working as Lab manager in the REM group. I have many administrative tasks in the group, and contributing to many of the research project, specifically the human cell culture projects.
