The candidate research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of hematopoietic cell transformation, clonal evolution, and resistance using a combination of genomics and functional studies. The candidate has a strong track-record in genomics with several high impact papers and she had a leading role in The Pediatric Cancer Genome Project (Nature Genetics, 2015, cited 501). In 2012, she returned to Lund, to start a highly competitive research program with a strong focus on genomics.
