About me

  • I have received my PhD at Karolinska Institute in the field of Epigenetics
    and Bioinformatics under the supervision of Professor Karl Ekwall.
    My first post-doctoral work at Department of molecular Biochemistry and
    Biophysics was guided by Professor Sten Linnarsson and Professor Ptrik
    Ernfors where I was involved in analyzing high-throughput sequencing data
    such as RNAseq, miRNA and Single-cell RNA sequencing.
    My second post-doctoral work at the Department of Biosciences and Nutrition
    in the "Estrogen signaling research group" headed by Professor Karin
    Dahlman-Wright.
    After finishing my postdoctoral work I have worked as a Bioinformatics
    Researcher in close collaboration with the Strategic Research Programme in
    Diabetes (SRP) and the Karolinska Institute core facility for Bioinformatics
    and Expression Analysis (BEA, www.bea.ki.se).
    At present I am working as a Senior Bioinformatics Researcher at Childhood
    Cancer Research Unit; Department of Women's and Children's Health, KI.
    Novo Nordisk Foundation conference grant and Karolinska Institutet travel
    grant for “Copenhagen Bioscience Conference: Metabolism in Action -
    lifetime influence of genes and environment” in October 2017.
    International Conference on Biotechnology & Bioinformatics (ICBB-2014)
    “Young Investigator Award” in February 2014.
    100, 000 SEK from Postgraduate program in Developmental Biology and Cellular
    Signaling (DECS) for running a course for PhD students Titled “A
    combination of in vivo and in silico methods to determine genome-wide protein
    targets” at Karolinska Institutet in the year 2013.
    The prestigious Strategic Research Programme in Diabetes (SRP) post-doctoral
    research fellowship in 2012.
    A travel award from The Chromatin Plasticity Network to attend Computational
    and Statistical Aspects of MicroArray Analysis (CSAMA08) June 15-20, 2008 in
    Bressanone, Italy.
    Södertörns högskola (Södertörn University College) PhD Study grant to
    perform the PhD study at Karolinska Institutet from 2005-2010.
    PhD in Cell & Molecular Biology with specialization in Epigenetics and
    Bioinformatics, Department of Biosciences and Nutrition, Karolinska
    Institutet, Sweden. Dissertation Title: Genome-wide patterns of histone
    modifications in fission yeast
