Hildur Arnardottir

Hildur obtained her PhD in 2011 in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik, Iceland. After her PhD she joined the laboratory of Prof. Charles Serhan at Harvard Medical School in Boston. There she worked on cutting edge LC-MS/MS based lipid mediator metabololipidomic profiling and functional elucidation of novel bioactive lipid mediators, termed specialized proresolving lipid mediators (SPM), their pathways and cellular targets critical in activating resolution of inflammation and their relation to human disease. After completing her postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School she joined the research group of Dr. Magnus Bäck at Karolinska Institutet as a Marie Curie Research Fellow in November 2015. She has been working with the Wheelock lab since 2016 focusing on LC-MS/MS based lipid mediator metabololipidomic profiling of specialized proresolving lipid mediators.
