Finished her Master in Molecular Biology from Aarhus University in 2004 and her PhD in Medicine from the same institution in 2009. She worked as a Postdoc at Aarhus University from 2009, and at the Department of Integrative Oncology, British Cancer Research Institute, Vancouver, Canada from 2012-2013. Has been working the last 15 years within the fields of tumor microenvironment, radiation biology and particle radiobiology. Her research has involved both in vitro and in vivo models, and has included studies in the area of modifiers of the tumor microenvironment and thus improvement of radiation therapy. She has been leading a range of projects on the biological effects of particle beam radiation and the impact in the normal tissue. Received the ESTRO-Varian Juliana Denekamp Award in 2015.
