Biography

I have a PhD degree in medical science (2007- Clinical Research center- Department of Islets Pathophysiology -Lund University). My topic was to investigate the ability of adult bone marrow stem cells to trans-differentiate into pancreatic beta cells. Later on (2007-2010), I worked as the coordinator of human islets facility at Lund University Diabetes Center (LUDC). My job responsibilities were to serve as a contact between transplantation surgeons, islet facility in Uppsala and end-user scientists, Distribute human tissues and DNA/RNA to evaluated research projects within LUDC, characterize tissues functionally e.g. hormone secretion assays, perform a global analysis of gene expression and GWAS and handle the human tissue database. By now this facility is one of the best-characterized resources for human pancreatic islets at a global level. Then, I started my current job (2010) as a research scientist at the same department focusing on the genetic profile of human pancreatic islets and to identify novel genes that contribute to Type 2 diabetes.
Using system genetics approach we identified 4 novel genes for T2D which has been published in high impact factor journals (Taneera et al 2012, Cell Metabolism 2012). In addition to that, I have been in involving at least 20 publications on the last 3 years in high ranked journals such as Nature and Cell Metabolism. My research has been also recognized by mainstream media outlets, including Science daily magazine (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/09/120903142955.htm) and some other local news agency. Also, I have been selected as the best young researcher in the diabetes field among all Scandinavian countries, 2013, Helsinki, Finland.
