About me
- I am a Research Specialist in prof. Paolo Parini's lab, and work within the
CardioMetabolic Unit (CMU). I share my activity between research, teaching,
and acting as a project manager within REPO4EU.
Bachelor of Medical Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, 2010.
Master of Medical Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, 2012.
Doctor of Medical Sciences (Medicine doktorsexamen), Karolinska Institutet,
2018.
Research
- My research interests lie within the genetics of cardiometabolic diseases,
focussing on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). I have a robust
background in genetic analyses of cardiometabolic traits, and surrogate
markers of cardiometabolic diseases. During my doctoral studies I explored
autophagy pathways in atherosclerosis, using candidate gene approaches. Main
findings included the discovery of a link between autophagy and
LXR-signalling, using genetic variants in the lipid droplet-associated
protein PLIN2 as a tool. During my postdoctoral training at Stanford
University I profiled myself within functional genomics, employing
large-scale single-cell CRISPRi screens to study genes suggested from
genome-wide association studies in relevant cell model systems. We have
established a functional genomic framework to study putative NAFLD-genes at
scale in a hepatocyte model system.
