Nature and nurture: the biology and the environment behind mental health and/or cancer

Hello,
I am Alana, a postdoctoral researcher at Karolinska Institutet. I was trained as a Biologist and I have a PhD in Biochemisty. I worked for 10 years understanding how our genes and the environment influence mental health disorders, such as depression and ADHD. And currently I investigate molecular mechanisms in cells that could be exploited in the future for treating cancer.

I can talk about:
– the scientific method
– career in science
– molecular biology and bioinformatics
– the biology of mental health (how the environment is important but there is a genetic component
– as it is for many other diseases like obesity and cancer, for example)
– the biology of cancer (see above)
– mRNA translation and cancer (specific research I am conducting at the moment)
