Personal profile

Short presentation

Linn Gillberg is an Assistant Professor at Xlab, Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH. Xlab is part of Center for Healthy Aging.

Linn Gillberg is a translational researcher who studied epigenetic, transcriptional and mitochondrial changes in type 2 diabetes, leukemia and breast cancer patients. She is currently investigating how chemo- and radiation therapy affect metabolic health and risk of type 2 diabetes in women with breast cancer. Her research aims to elucidate how epigenetic mechanisms interact with the genome and lifestyle/medical exposures in the progression of complex age-related diseases.
