Short presentation
I am a researcher in the Experimental Clinical Chemistry research group. Much of my research efforts has focused on the development of mass spectrometry methods for applications within metabolomics, lipidomics, and exposomics. In my main current project, funded by Formas, I explore the importance of internal and external environmental exposures for developing fibromyalgia.
