About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the division Clinical Physiology, Department Laboratory Medicine located at KI campus Flemingsberg.
BSc and MSc in Bio探花精选 Science - Ghent University
PhD - Queen Mary University of London
Research
My research focuses on immune cell characterisation of cancer and long covid patients who participated in exercise interventions.
I am part of the PREFERABLE consortium which established a multi-national clinical trial for cancer patients, studying the effect of exercise on their quality of life, as well as biological outcomes. The PREFERABLE study focuses on breast cancer patients and the assessment of fatigue and quality of life during and after a supervised 9-month exercise intervention.
Personal interests: exercise physiology, prevention and early detection of cancer, liquid biopsies using extracellular vesicles
