Short presentation

I’m a translational imaging specialist with 12 years of experience in molecular imaging. At Uppsala University, I lead multimodal translational imaging studies (PET, SPECT, MRI, CT), supporting projects from design to publication. My focus is on clinical translation in diabetes, oncology, inflammation, and regenerative medicine. I’ve contributed to the development of tracers such as [⁶⁸Ga]Exendin-4, [¹¹C]5-HTP, and [¹¹C]NES, and I regularly teach imaging and analysis to students and researchers.

Research routines are translational-oriented, with the use of

* Short lived positron emitting radionuclide such as [11C] ,[18F] & [68Ga]

* Long lived SPECT radionuclides such as [99mTc], [111In] & [177Lu]

* Human islets and cancer cell lines of pancreatic origin.

* Autoradiography

* Small animal and translational models

* In vivo imaging in small animals with PET, SPECT, CT, and MR

* Image analysis using software such as PMOD, InterView Fusion, and Image J.
