I am a postdoctoral fellow in Mattias Forsell lab. My research seeks to define how antibody quality, function, and evolution determine protection versus pathogenesis in viral infections, with a particular focus on respiratory viruses.

My PhD in Medical Science in Infection Research provided strong training in molecular biology, virology, immunology, and diagnostic development, including the study of antibody-dependent enhancement and virus–host interactions. Building on this foundation, I investigate the mechanisms governing long-term antibody durability following natural infection and vaccination in respiratory viral infections. A central goal of my work is to understand how the structural and functional diversity of antibodies shapes disease outcome and vaccine performance.
