About me
I graduated with a medical degree from Lund University in 2015. I am a specialist in internal medicine, gastroenterology and hepatology. In April 2023, I defended my dissertation "Some Epidemiological Aspects of Liver Cirrhosis and Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Sweden" at Lund University.
Research
My research focuses on the impact of socioeconomic status and inequalities in the Swedish healthcare system on the incidence and clinical course of liver cirrhosis and primary liver cancer.
