Background
I earned my master’s degree in Biotechnology from Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), followed by a PhD in Medical Science from Karolinska Institutet (Sweden). I then relocated to the United States to pursue postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School. Since 2018, I have led a research group at the Center for Hematology and Regenerative Medicine (HERM) at Karolinska Institute, where I am committed to fostering a collaborative and inspiring research environment.
Our research centers on stem cell–based modeling of myeloid neoplasms, employing patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to elucidate how inherited and acquired mutations impair hematopoietic stem cell function and contribute to disease pathogenesis. We combine multi-omics profiling, functional assays, and engineered microenvironments to uncover mechanisms of disease initiation and progression, working closely with clinicians to ensure translational relevance.
