About me

I am working on projects related to the treatment and progression of Myasthenia Gravis, a rare neuromuscular disorder, using data from the Swedish Myasthenia Gravis Registry (MGreg).

Research

My research interests fall into exploring enviromental risk factors for neurodegenerative diseases using large Swedish cohorts and register data. I have experience
conducting studies with cross-sectional and longitudinal statistical approaches, literature reviews and meta-analyses. I have learned various analytical approaches for longitudinal data analyses, including survival analyses, mediation and interaction analyses, multistate models, linear mixed effect models, life-course study analyses, competing risk analyses, etc.
