I graduated in Molecular Biology at Stockholm University in 2009. My Bachelor project was  about a DNA-repair protein that is important for removing UV-induced lesion from the genome of TK-6 cells.

This was performed in Siamak Haghdoosts group of the Institute for Genetics, Microbiology and ToxicologyThe results of my BSc project were published in Mutation Research.

From 2009 to 2010 I attended the MSc Radiobiology course at UCL London.

In 2010 I did my MSc reseach project about Mapping susceptibility genes for Thyroid uptake of radioiodine in mice" at the Helmholtz-Center Munich, Institute of Radiobiology in the Group Radiation Carcinogenesis.

Since 2011 I am PhD student at Stockholm University, Department of Genetics, Microbiology and Toxicology.  Here I do research on the effects of UV-A radiation on human cells and try to understand the process of DNA  mutations leading to skin cancer. For the presentation of my first results at the 14th International Congress of Radiation Research I received an ERSS students award.
