About me
I'm a Canadian cell and molecular biologist interested in catabolic processes, specifically autophagy ("self-eating") and programmed cell death (PCD). After completing my PhD studies at Dalhousie University (Canada) under the supervision of Dr. Arunika Gunawardena, I started a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Postdoctoral Fellowship in Sweden. Since then I have become a PI within the Plant Catabolism Laboratories of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU). I have two main projects, i) investigating autophagy and developing new tools and strategies to manipulate and further unravel this critical biochemical pathway in plants, and ii) biochemical and structural studies of biomolecular condensates known as stress granules. In addition to research and teaching, I am also passionate about scientific communication and outreach.
