Job description

Staff engineer at Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB), associated with the research group RNA and Molecular Pathology (RAMP). My work-tasks consists of laboratory work, HSE-tasks, orders, and maintainance of laboratory areas.

I am competent in the following techniqies:

  • Cell work
  • PCR and RT-qPCR
  • Western blotting
  • RNA-FISH og immunestaining
  • IHC
  • Mikroskopering
  • Flow-sorting
  • CRISPR/Cas9

Research interests

In the research group RNA and Molecular pathology we study the underlying disease mechanisms in cancer and in autoimmune diseases.

I am involved in the research project Breast cancer-associated long non-coding RNA NEAT1 and paraspeckles in cellular stress responses. In this project we investigate how NEAT1 is involved in different cellular stressors, and investigate the impact of abnormal NEAT1 gene expression in breast cancer development.
