About me

I'm a psychiatrist at Psychiatry Southwest, Huddinge, Stockholm, and a
PhD student at KI. My PhD project centers on bipolar disorder and lithium.

My PhD projects concern capillary lithium sampling, algorithm based
pre-treatment prediction of needed lithium dose, biomolecular analysis of
lithium reponse vs. non-response and potential anti-ageing effects of lithium
treatment.
