Background and activities
Research Scientist at Centre of Molecular Inflammation Research (CEMIR) & K.G. Jebsen Center for Myeloma Research, Unit for Cell Biology
My research focuses on basic mechanisms of innate immunity. In particular, I am interested in how signaling pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) recognize and respond to microbial and endogenous components, and how this shapes the subsequent immune response. I am currently interested in how PRR signaling affects cancer progression, with emphasis on Multiple Myeloma and colorectal cancer.
