Oma esittely

I have worked in immunological research for more than ten years, and I am highly interested in understanding the biology of the immune system. I am especially interested in host-pathogen interactions and vaccinology. 

Työtehtävät

From September 2026 onwards, I started as an Academy Research Fellow, and am currently establishing my own research group. Specifically, I am working on understanding the significance of oral bacteria in the pathobiology of cardiovascular diseases.

Osaamisalueiden kuvaus

My main expertise is build on using different model organisms to understand human diseases, including tuberculosis and cardiovascular disease. Another focus area has been to understand functionality of specific genes/proteins in disease using for example genetic modification techniques in the host organism.
