My name is Mette B Levring, I'm a medical doctor and currently a PhD Student at the Dept. of Clinical Research at the University of Southern Denmark and the Dept. of Hematology at Odense University Hospital in Odense, Denmark. In my PhD project, I study the stromal cells of the bone marrow and their role in developing myeloma bone disease. Through cell cultures, cell sorting, transcriptome and methylome sequencing I study the alterations of mesenchymal stromal cells isolated from the bone marrow of MGUS and myeloma patients. Applying immunohistochemistry and in-situ hybridization stainings we further study alterations of stromal cells directly in the spatial context of the bone.
