I am Group Leader in Spatial Proteomics at Aarhus University. After earning my Bachelor of Clinical Medicine, I began my research career in cancer biology during my master's studies at Peking University, China. I obtained my PhD in Biomedicine at the Max Planck Institute, Germany, where I focused on spatial biomarker discovery in lung cancer and tumour microenvironment reprogramming. In 2021, I joined Prof. Matthias Mann's group at the University of Copenhagen as a postdoctoral researcher, pioneering multiplexed imaging integration with Deep Visual Proteomics (mipDVP), enabling single-cell resolution of tumour–immune interactions. Since 2024, I have served as Assistant Professor of Spatial Proteomics at Aarhus University, leading the clinical translation of mipDVP for precision oncology under Prof. Robert A. Fenton’s mentorship. I have secured more than 13 million DKK in competitive funding, including the LEO Foundation Dr. Abildgaard Fellowship establishing my research group. My work has been published in journals including Molecular Cell, Nature Communications, and Cancer Research. I serve as EACR Ambassador, HUPO Advisory Board member, Interdisciplinary Medicine Editorial Board member, and review for more than 10 journals and funding bodies. My work has been recognized with 19 international awards, including the Emerging Technologies Funding Award. My interdisciplinary research programme welcomes international collaborations and is actively recruiting postdoctoral fellows and doctoral researchers in computational science and molecular biology.
My research focuses on applying spatial proteomics to improve precision approaches in oncology and dermatology.
