Our research focuses on investigating the cells of neuroblastoma origin and bone marrow metastasis.

PhD Student at Karolinska Institutet, under the supervision of Associate Professor Ninib Baryawno. My thesis focuses on delineating the cellular heterogeneity of neuroblastoma and bone marrow metastases to identify therapeutically targetable vulnerabilities. The aim is to investigate cellular heterogeneity and clonality in neuroblastoma and preclinical models. We further establish ex-vivo organoid models that recapitulate neuroblastoma.
