Background in tumor biology, including skin and telomere biology. After thesis work on UV-induced DNA damage in skin and skin carcinogenesis, I worked in the Human Proteome Resource (HPR) program with cell micro array. Postdoctoral training (2004-2006) was performed within telomere biology/signal transduction analyzing potential cancer treatment with oligonucleotides homologous to the telomere overhang. Since November 2006, I have been appointed as a research coordinator at KBC.
