About me

I am doctoral student at the Department of Women´s and Children´s Health, Karolinska Institutet and Obstetrics and Gynecology Resident at Karolinska University Hospital, Huddinge.
My PhD studies encompass different lifestyle interventions on overweight populations with an emphasis on type 2 diabetes and women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The research is translational and the preclinical studies concern PCR, microarray analysis and single nuclei RNA sequencing.
