About me

I am a Ph.D. student in Sävendahl's research group, Pediatric Endocrinology Unit, Department of Women's and Children's Health.
I received my Medical Degree in 2017.

Research

Childhood cancer patients and survivors suffer from long-term complications, including reduced bone mass and growth retardation.
The overall objective of my research projects is to design strategies to prevent bone health impairment in childhood cancer, using
preclinical models.
