About me
PhD,
Researcher & project leader in VIVAC (Vaccines and Immunotherapies against Viruses and Cancer) research group
Director pre-GMP facility ANA Futura
Deputy Director Production at Karolinska ATMP Center
Member of the PKL Scientific Advisory Board
LABMED representative in ANA Futura Drafting committee
LABMED representative in ANA Futura Work Environment Committee
I have a M.Sc. in molecular cell biology form Södertörn University in 2003.
My PhD was obtained from Karolinska Instutitet in 2007 working on the
development of a therapeutic vaccine for treatment of chronic hepatitis C
virus infection. After my PhD I worked for a couple of years as a post doc at
a research company developing vaccine adjuvants. Back at KI in 2009 as
assistant professor I continued working on vaccine development now as
treatment for chronic hepatitis B virus infection. In 2015 I joined GE
Healthcare (now Cytiva) exploring scalable production processes for proteins
and cell based vaccines. Since 2018 I am back at KI as project manager in the
VIVAC research group.
Research
- My research focus on development of vaccines against Crimean Congo
Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), SARS-CoV-2 and hepatitis B and D virus.
