I am the Head of the National Facility for Exposomics, an infrastructure unit hosted by Stockholm university Environmental Science Department, and which operates as part of the SciLifeLab Metabolomics Platform.
My mission is to provide national and international researchers with state-of-the-art workflows in high resolution chemical exposomics to investigate exposure and effects of complex organic chemical mixtures in humans and in the environment.
My research background is in environmental science, specialized in mass spectrometry metabolomics and exposomics.
I obtained my PhD at Umeå University / Umeå Plant Science Centre (Sweden) and Swedish Metabolomics Centre (SciLifeLab), where I applied mass spectrometry metabolomics (LC and GC – QTOF) to study the impact of environmental exposure – e.g. air pollutants and insect pests on plant physiology and chemical ecology.
During my last post-doc performed at Stockholm University and SciLifeLab, I applied high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC- and GC- Orbitrap) to investigate the impact of environmental exposure on human health.
Previously, I worked as a visiting post-doc at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, Kiel (Germany), where I used metabolomics and imaging mass spectrometry (DESI-IMS) to investigate the chemical interactions between a marine plant and surface fouling microorganisms.
My research interests combine all aspects of metabolomics and exposomics workflows and high-resolution mass spectrometry, including data acquisition, raw data pre-processing and data analysis.
