Research

  • My project group is investigating the genetical mechanisms which propel the
    development of cancer in hormone-secreting organs such as the thyroid,
    parathyroids and adrenal glands. By utilizing modern molecular techniques to
    approach specific hypotheses, results are implemented with the focus to
    deliver improved diagnostics and prognostics regarding these tumor types.
    As an example, the project group has aided in the identification of two
    molecular markers for malignant parathyroid tumors (parafibromin and APC)
    which have been implemented for clinical use as diagnostic markers at several
    international institutions, including Karolinska University Hospital.
