About me
Since 2020 I am working as a research specialist in the research group of Prof. Malin Flodström Tullberg at Center for Infectious Medicine at Huddinge campus. Here, I utilise my expertice in cell biology and immunology to study environmental factors disrupting Langerhans islet and beta cell function, induction of auto-immunity and the initiation of Type 1 Diabetes.
My passion for science and my interest in infection biology, immunology and the magic world host-parasite interaction has taken me from initial projects as an undergrad on Hepatitis C replication and virulence factors in single cell parasites (Toxoplasma gondii/Plasmodium falciparum/Giardia) and hookworm infections in which led me to study- pulmonary immunology and the development and activities of Alveolar Macrophages.
2018-2019. Post-doc in Research group Tim Willinger, CIM, Karolinska Institutet. Research area: Macrophage ontology, pulmonary health and injury resolution.
2018. Post-doc with Dr. Åsa Wheelock, CMM, Karolinska Institutet
- Investigating monocytes, macrophages
- and T-cells from young adult's with known pulmonary limitations due to premature birth (LUNAPRE cohort).
2015. Wenner-Gren Research Fellow (2 year salary including research funding)
2010. Wenner-Gren Postdoctoral Fellow (3 year international postdoc). Application and interview process, 5% success rate.
2012-2015. Institute of Immunology and Infection Research, Universtiy of Edinburgh. Professor Judith E. Allen group. Project: The molecular and immunological basis of emphysema development in a rodent hookworm model.
2010-2012. AgResearch, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Equivalent of 1 year full time. Project: Immunomodulation of Dendritic Cells by ruminant helminths.
2009. Scholarship. Lennanders stiftelse. 3 months post-doctoral research
project funding including living cost scholarship with Dr Hugo Lujan, Cordoba, Argentina, on virulence factors in Giardia infections.
2010. PhD in Microbiology. Uppsala University. Thesis title: Host-Pathogen- Responses during Giardia infections. Supervisor: Prof. Staffan G. Svärd,
Department of Cell and Molecular Biology.[
