About me

I studied Molecular Medicine and I combine wet lab and data science to understand the genetics and biological mechanisms of lipid-related phenotypes. My current research focuses on lipoprotein(a) concentrations and HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity.

Specifically, I am involved in the following research topics and projects at the institute:
