Present
I'm a Forskningsrådet postdoctoral fellow working on high-content methods for profiling patient-derived tumoroids, so bridging the expertise between the Flobak lab at NTNU, the Pharmbio group at Uppsala University, and SINTEF.
Working with patient material has been a very humbling experience and a great inspiration. I am very eager to develop new assay methods for 3D tumoroids, maximizing information content in a reliable high-throughput setup. I am particularly interested in how we can leverage those rich data to scout for non-genetic biomarkers that could predict patient drug responses.
When not in the (wet or dry) lab and as a young mom, I love seeing how my son learns about the world, experimenting with everything along his way, like a tiny scientist.
