About me

I have a Master of Science degree in Drug Discovery and Development and I am currently working towards my doctoral degree at Tampere University, focusing on cardiac disease modeling using cardiac iPS cells. In my research, I aim at discovering mechanisms behind hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and how rare cardiac mutations can promote the development of this disease.
