Research
I am a molecular biologist, with a PhD from University of Bergen on stem cell research and diabetes. My current research work focuses on identifying protein biomarkers and novel targets in aggressive breast cancer, with special emphasis on tumor cell plasticity and nerve involvement in the tumor microenvironment. To study the interaction between cancer cells and nerves, we use a combination of methods including mass spectrometry-based proteomics, imaging mass cytometry and cell models.
