I am an internal-medicine resident and post-doctoral fellow in the Perinatal and Cardiovascular Epidemiology (PACE) group at Lund University, directed by Associate Professor Simon Timpka. Working closely with Associate Professor Sofia Enhörning, I investigate endocrine and hydration-related determinants of cardiometabolic risk. I integrate untargeted and targeted mass-spectrometry metabolomics with longitudinal cohort data and controlled-hydration studies to determine (i) how melatonin secretion modulates glucose homeostasis and (ii) how chronic under-hydration, indexed by vasopressin–copeptin activity, reprograms metabolism and heightens susceptibility to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

During my PhD in Professor Olle Melander’s Cardiovascular Research–Hypertension unit, I analysed data from more than 6,000 Malmö-cohort participants and demonstrated that diet-derived metabolic signatures predict atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular events, and mortality. I also showed that a short Mediterranean-style dietary intervention rapidly remodels the circulating metabolome. I now apply the analytical frameworks and nutritional biomarker panels developed in that work to identify modifiable hormonal and hydration targets for the precision prevention of cardiometabolic disorders.

I welcome collaborative opportunities that advance this research agenda.
