Short presentation

Primary fields of research

My primary focus is the toxicological effects of exposure to environmental factors. The research focuses is on mechanisms of action of environmental agents, using cell cultures,  experimental laboratory models and controlled human exposures. The outcome aim to develop better models for understadning of the following: 

• Molecular and functional assessment of exposure, susceptibility and effects
• Experimental in vitro and in vivo model systems
• Alternatives to animal experimentation

Current research

Use of in vitro models to investigate cell-cell interactions as well as cell exposure interactions. The primary use of the cell models are investigation of the effect of exposure to different types of particle  such as air pollution and combustion particles as well as micro- and nanoplastic particles. Major focus is on cellular effects such as oxidative stress, inflammation and DNA damage.
