Caroline Wasén

I investigate the brain in the chronic autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with a specific interest in age-related structural changes and neuroinflammation. I have a background in pharmacy, a PhD in rheumatology from the University of Gothenburg and four years of postdoctoral training in the neuroimmunology of neurodegenerative disease from Harvard University. My currrent research at the Karolinska Institute focuses on brain atrophy in RA and it may be preveted by anti-rheumatic drugs.
