About me

  • I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in molecular cancer epidemiology of testicular
    and prostate cancer in Fredrik Wiklund [1]'s group at the Department of
    Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics. I concluded my PhD training at the
    same department in Kamila Czene [2]’s group, with focus on the study of
    molecular and genetic factors associated with aggressiveness of breast
    cancer.
    I have a background in human nutrition and genomics. My main research
    interest is on the study complex diseases through interdisciplinary
    approaches, particularly in the field of cancer epidemiology and genomics.

Research

  • My postdoctoral projects are in the area of molecular epidemiology of
    testicular and prostate cancer. We are currently working on
    Transcription-wide Association Studies (TWAS) aiming at better understanding
    the molecular basis of the disease by integration of omics data. We are also
    investigating polygenic measures and their relation with clinical outcomes
    such as risk of relapse.
    We work in collaboration with genetic international consortia groups: the
    TECAC [1] for testicular cancer, and the PRACTICAL [2] for prostate cancer.
    We also collaborate with clinical working groups such as SWENOTECA [3].
