Field of research:
My ongoing PhD project is an Industrial PhD at SOLID Therapeutics. SOLID Therapeutics is developing a novel cancer theraphy targeting the GPCR HCAR1. I am working with furthering the understanding of the role and biological mode of action of HCAR1 in solid tumors. I’m also investigating potential combination therapies that could be utilized in combination with HCAR1 antagonism.

Field of research: 
As a clinical hematologist with laboratory background, my research combine genetic and functional characterization of lymphoid malignant cells and microenvironmental cells, MRD testing and diagnostic work up for lymphoid malignancies into designing clinical trials for precision hematology. This feeds into development of extended decision matrices in lymphoid malignancies based on medical Artificial Intelligence modeling of multidimensional big data for testing in clinical trials, thereby improving precision medicine in lymphoid malignancies and beyond.
