Personal profile

Research

My research focus revolves around the role of transposable element insertions in neurodegenerative disorders. I focus on disease causing insertions, that are only present in the patients, and I aim to identify how they affect gene expression and thus cause a disease. Currently I focus on a neurodegenerative disorder called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism, where we to study how a transposable element insertion affects gene expression and local epigenetic patterns.
