Malin Petersson

I received my medical degree in January 2020 and began my doctoral studies the same year with the Brauner Team. I have parallel to my doctoral studies also gotten my medical license and I am currently pursuing a residency in internal medicine.

My thesis project explores how environmental and lifestyle factors influence the risk of developing the autoimmune disease Myasthenia gravis (MG). We utilize questionnaire and registry-based data matched to controls without MG. I am also interested in patient reported outcome measures to measure disease activity. 

Since 2017 I have regularly given lectures to medical- and dental students on the histology of blood and lymphatic organs.

I have been involved in the development of web-based microscopy (http://mikroskop.neuro.ki.se/).
