About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher in Clinical Genetics at ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, working on identifying the genetic causes of rare skeletal disorders and using molecular and cellular assays to study their functional impact. During my PhD at Lund University, I studied the vascular disease abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), focusing on the underlying genetic, epigenetic, and other molecular factors. I hold a Master’s degree in Molecular Medicine from Imperial College London, where I investigated DNA methylation in a human retrovirus.
I am interested in understanding how genetic variants and dynamic epigenetic modifications regulate gene expression and influence disease phenotypes. I work extensively with advanced molecular biology methods, including next-generation (high-throughput) sequencing, bioinformatics, and statistical analysis, to address complex questions in clinical and translational research.
In addition to research, I was actively involved in academic governance during my PhD, serving on various faculty-level committees and as Chair of the Medical Doctoral Student Union (MDR) at Lund University.
