What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative research environment that values innovation and community impact.

I am a passionate researcher with a PhD in Physiology from the University of Turku, Finland. My expertise lies in cell biology, developmental biology, and oncology, where I have successfully secured research grants totaling 64,000 Euros during my doctoral studies. My current role as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Gothenburg involves investigating cell-cell communication in prostate cancer-bone metastasis, where I manage projects and collaborate with international researchers.

Throughout my career, I have developed novel immunoaffinity-based protocols and have a strong track record of publishing in high-impact scientific journals. I am skilled in advanced molecular biology techniques, including CRISPR/Cas9 design and various imaging methods. My goal is to leverage my knowledge to make a positive impact on health within my community and beyond, fostering a collaborative and innovative research environment.
