Research

Our research focus on studies to understand how NK and T cells are regulated in patients with cancer. With this knowledge we aim to develop improved immunotherapies in patients with cancer.

Teaching

Completed ten weeks of pedagogic training courses.
PhD course organizer: Tumor immunology and immune therapy of cancer (#3110), Karolinska Institutet.
More than 500 hours teaching undergradates (BSc), post-graduates (MSc and PhD) and medical professionals (MD).
