About me

  • The overall goal of my PhD project is to evaluate the benefits of applying
    whole genome sequencing for the genetic diagnosis of cancer predisposition
    syndromes in clinical practice in Sweden

    I am a PhD student at the Rare Diseases group at Karolinska Institutet. 
    Previously, I completed an Erasmus+ master of excellence in Innovative
    Medicine between the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and the
    University of Uppsala in Sweden. During my studies, I worked with modelling
    of rare diseases using induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), CRISPR/Cas9
    editing and patch-clamp electrophysiology. Currently, I am part of the ChiCaP
    (Childhood Cancer Predisposition) Project, which aims to evaluate the
    benefits of implementing germline genetic sequencing in pediatric
    oncology in Sweden.
