Research
My doctoral projects aim to understand the Lung-Brain axis in Multiple
Sclerosis with a focus on smoking induced epigenetic changes influencing disease development and
progression.I am primarily interested in applying different omics methods and optimizing multi-omics techniques to understand epigenetic mechanisms driving the disease.
