    His master thesis entitled "Nyttan av 18-FDG-PET vid differentiating av MCI-

    India, primarily focusing on different Neurological conditions. He worked at
    Neurogen Brain and Spine Institute, India, for three years as a
    Neuroradiology/Neuroimaging fellow focusing on interventional Paediatrics &

  • Stroke neuroimaging, and thereby developed his interest in developing early
    biomarkers for different Neurological disorders. He also developed his own
    paediatric database for brain PET imaging from children with normal
    neurological function
  • however, those children had either lymphoma or other
    cancerous abnormality with no involvement of the brain or skull. He was also
