I’m working in the Cellular Neurobiology research group led by Katja Kanninen. My doctoral research is focused on discovering plasma biomarkers for mental health dysfunction in adolescents, and the effects of environmental and lifestyle factors on mental health. The research is a part of and supported by the H2020 project Equal Life.
