About me

I defended my thesis on DNA repair at Stockholm University in 2011. With an
increased focus on cancer, I continued as a researcher in the DNA repair
field for a few years while moving to SciLifeLab in Solna. I spent 2014 at
the Institute of Cancer Research in London, where I came even closer to the
clinical setting in my aims to optimise radiotherapy for different tumors.
My progression from basic research towards patient care has since May 2017
taken me to the group of Katarina Le Blanc at KI, where we develop cell
therapies and produce mesenchymal stem cells intended for clinical use.
* M.Sc. in Cell- and Molecular Biology at Södertörn University College
* PhD in Molecular Genetics at Stockholm University
