About me
- I work with Natalia Rivera in her research project focused on elucidating the
molecular mechanism behind the pathogenesis of the inmmune -mediated
diseases, sarcoidosis and rheumatoid arthritis using immunology and
molecular biology tools as well as Biobanking and Clinical research
laboratory experience.
Research
- The research is focused on the genomics and functional studies in autoimmune
diseases, particularly sarcoidosis and rheumatoid arthritis to understand
the genetic factors for both diseases and to identify their functional
implication in disease pathogenesis using epigenetic methods such as histone
modification marks in immune cells from patients affected by both diseases.
Additionally, to support the consortium MESARGEN - Multi-Ethnic Sarcoidosis
Consortium for Genetic Studies led by Natalia Rivera from Johan Grunewald's
Lung research Lab at Karolinska Instituted with the aim to identify clinical
biomarkers and molecular targets that can be utilized in the clinic.
