I work as a postdoc in the lab of Jos Jonkers, and in short, my interest is basic and translational cancer research to understand the role of the DNA Damage Response (DDR) for cancer prevention, and in novel personalized cancer treatments. Specifically, I am using mouse models to investigate the tumour suppressor role of the hereditary breast and ovarian.

REBBLS (Rising Entrepreneurs in BioBusiness and Life Science) is a network connecting the most dedicated, talented, and ambitious bioentrepreneurs in Denmark in order to create a forum for gaining further experience, tools, and business relations within startup in biotech and life science.

University Of Copenhagen

During my PhD and postdoc in the lab of Claus Storgaard Sørensen, I was part of a screen approach to identify novel factors for the ionizing radiation induced G2/M checkpoint. These screens lead to the publication of three novel factors for the regulation of the G2/M checkpoint, including the tumour suppressor BRCA2.

Ionizing radiation (IR) is often used as a cancer treatment where the tumor cells are mainly killed due to massive amounts of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). As IR therapy normally goes along with severe side effects for the patient and as some tumors reveal IR-resistance, it is of striking importance, to get a better understanding of how the cells react.

In my master project I performed a flow cytometry based screen for G2/M regulatory proteins using RNAi. As a research assistant, I continue the validation and characterization of the positive hits obtained.

I did my master project under the supervision of Claus Storgaard Sørensen. See further information about Sørensens group here, http://www.bric.dk/cms/viewPage.php?id=321My project was to perform a flow cytometry based loss of function screen to identify novel genes involved in the DNA damage response to ionizing radiation.

M.Sc. In Engineering, Biotechnology, Molecular Basis Of Human Diseases

I I started out studying Applied Physics at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in autumn 2002. The reason for choosing this course.

Molecular Basis Of Human Diseases

Studies in cancer biology, functional genomics, and immunology at the National University of Singapore (NUS), spring 2007.
