About me

After my master in Life Sciences and Technologies at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, I started working on Extracellular Vesicles during my master thesis in the research group of Prof. David Lyden at Weill Cornell Medicine, New York.
I then joined the lab of Prof. Susanne Gabrielsson at KI in 2019 to carry my PhD focusing on the characterization of Extracellular Vesicles in different diseases (COPD, sarcoidosis, asthma, urinary bladder cancer) and how to use them as novel therapeutic tools in cancer.

Research

Immunology, extracellular vesicles, cancer biology, immunotherapies, cancer immunology.
