Kort presentation
Denna text finns inte på svenska, därför visas den engelska versionen.
My research focuses on cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. Specifically, how blood flow forces, sensed by endothelial cells, shape cardiovascular development and function. Using zebrafish as a model organism, my work integrates genetic tools, high-resolution live imaging, single-cell omics, and technology optimization. Overall, I aim to unravel key processes essential for cardiovascular function and develop tools with broad research and therapeutic applications.

Forskning
Mitt laboratorium syftar till att förstå hur blodflödeskrafter formar utvecklingen och funktionen av det kardiovaskulära systemet. Vi genererar genetiska verktyg för att kontrollera hjärtats sammandragningar och modulera funktionen hos mekanosensorproteiner i kardiovaskulära subpopulationer.
