Sanne Kiiveri
Sanne (M.D., PhD) is currently specializing in pediatrics in HUCH, Hospital for Children and Adolescents. Her main interest is the transcriptional regulation of adrenocortical development and function. She has also studied the hormonal and transcriptional changes leading to adrenocortical tumor formation concentrating on the roles of GATA-4, GATA-6 and LH receptor. ==> publications
