* Project Manager* Health Technology and Innovation* Professional in leading EU funded projects* PhD Physiology & Neuroscience* Experience in science and researchPREVIOUS RESEARCHMy research (University of Helsinki, Functional Lipidomics Unit) has involved lipidomics on a systemic level, using analytical biochemistry to unveil the flux of different lipid species and fatty acids in biological systems. In my research I used sophisticated high throughput methods such as mass spectrometry and gas-liquid chromatography, followed by qualitative Principal Component Analysis. In my Master´s thesis project, I studied the seasonal compositional changes in the membrane lipids of the central nervous system of physiologically active vs. hibernating (inactive) bats. I found compositional changes in cell membranes, that are related to the regulation of metabolic rate during different seasons. In my PhD project my objective was to find and test a biomonitoring method of food webs where adipose tissue fatty acids are used as biomarkers and a proxy of ingested diet. http://www.helsinki.fi/biosciences/corefacilities/lipidomicsunit/
