I work at the intersection of cell biology and physics. I'm interested in gene regulation, epigenetics, aging, and the 3D folding of chromosomes.
My work is based at the research center Icelab.
Our research group focuses on creating mechanistic models that integrate diverse datasets to better understand biological systems. These models go beyond traditional statistical or machine-learning methods by identifying cause-and-effect relationships in biological processes. By combining data from various sources, such as genomics and proteomics, we aim to provide more reliable predictions about how biological systems function, offering a clearer picture of the underlying mechanisms at work.

I teach both undergraduate and PhD-level courses that span modeling, communication, and career development in science.
At the undergraduate level, I teach:
At the PhD level, I teach courses that support young researchers in their academic careers. These courses are designed to strengthen the generic skills needed for success in academia and beyond. I teach:
