About me

I am a medical doctor specialized in Geriatric Medicine with a clinical and research focus on dementia.
I am currently a PhD student at the Aging Research Center (ARC), NVS, Karolinska Institutet, under the main supervision of Assistant Professor Giulia Grande. My doctoral project investigates the interplay between Alzheimer’s disease pathology and cardiovascular co-pathology in dementia development, using data from the population-based Swedish National study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen (SNAC-K).
