I am responsible for setting up and optimizing cellular assays, testing the cellular efficacy of small molecules. As cell assay specialist, I am a key part of many of the company’s preclinical projects, and set up experiments to study both mechanism of action and proof of concept, but I also perform exploratory work to further increase knowledge of the different target molecules.In addition, my role has included e.g. setting up and being responsible for a new cell laboratory, purchasing and establishing a new technology platform at Medivir.I have been part in projects both in the field of virology and in oncology. The targets molecules I have worked on have mainly been proteases, and hence I am very familiar with studying proteolytic turnover of target proteins, but I have also worked on projects were the targets have been polymerase inhibitors.

Huddinge

I was during this period subcontratced to Medivir AB through Activia Science Work AB. I was promoted to Senior Research Scientist when I was hired directly by Medivir AB in January 2008.

ICP post-doctoral fellowship (Pierre Lacroix). As a post-doctoral fellow, I shifted my focus to PDGF signalling in hematopoietic cells. In addition I studied how PDGF activates the transcription factor SREBP, crucial for lipid synthesis in the body. I was also part of a collaboration project exploring different aspects of a mutant form of the kinase JAK2, which causes myeloproliferative diseases like Polycythemia vera.

Uppsala, Sweden

My graduate thesis was focused on the signal transduction of the receptor tyrosine kinase PDGF (Platelet-derived growth factor). Here I got the foundation for my practical lab training, and I learned how to work both analytically and independently. My work was focused on the regulation of cellular signalling cascades of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation events, and I used techniques like radioactive labelling, Edman degradation and Western blotting to monitor these phenomena in cell lines.
