Jeg er utdannet molekylærbiolog og jobber innen immunogenetikk med fokus på endokrin autoimmun sykdom. Siden disputasen min i 2012 ved Universitetet i Bergen fortsatte jeg som post-Doc i samme gruppe og hadde ett års forskningsopphold hos Professor Hamish Scott ved University of Adelaide hvor jeg jobbet med genetikk. Jeg ble så tildelt et mobilitetsstipend fra Norges Forskningsråd og jobbet to år i gruppen til Professor Georg Holländer ved University of Oxford hvor jeg arbeidet med karakterisering av utvikling av T-celler i tymus. Siden 2019 har jeg vært ansatt som seniorforsker ved KG Jebsen-senteret for autoimmune sykdommer, og jeg ble nylig tildelt det prestisjetunge Excellence Emerging Investigator-stipendet fra Novo Nordic-stiftelsen. Mitt langsiktige mål er å karakterisere genetiske og molekylære mekanismer i det adaptive immunsystemet som er avgjørende for utviklingen av tolerante T-celler og B-celler. Videre vil jeg kombinerer denne kunnskapen i multivariante sykdomsmodeller for bedre å forutsi autoimmunt vevsdestruksjon. I tillegg ønsker jeg å utvide mitt internasjonale nettverk med mulighet for langsiktige samarbeid.
