Current research
The focus of my PhD project is using immunotherapy as a treatment for skin cancer. Cancer cells are specialized in evading the defense mechanisms of the body. Our vision is that laser therapy and immune-stimulating drugs can activate the body’s immune cells to fight skin cancer. We want to develop new cancer models that can improve our understanding of skin cancer.
Main interests
- Immunotherapy
- Keratinocyte cancer

Short description
The PhD project is conducted as part of a cross-institutional scientific collaboration between the Technical University of Denmark and Bispebjerg Hospital, Department of Dermatology, with Proffessor Thomas Andresen as the main supervisor and Merete Hædersdal as co-supervisor.
I have previous experience with translational research in experimental cellular therapies for cancer. I have been an active board member Synapse — Life Science Connect, a non-profit life science organization.
