About me
- I am a PhD student at the Center for Psychiatry Research and a licensed
clinical psychologist. My clinical work and my research focus on patients
with psychosis and schizophrenia.
Master of Science in Psychology, 2013, Stockholm University
Licensed clinical psychologist, 2014
PhD student, 2019 - present, Karolinska Institute
Research
- My main research focus is cognition in individuals with psychosis and how
this relates to brain function, genetics and functional outcome. To study
this I utilize methods such as molecular brain imaging, cognitive testing and
the national Swedish registries. The clinical platform for my studies is the
Karolinska Schizophrenia Project (KaSP), an ongoing multidisciplinary
collaboration between several research groups and several psychiatric clinics
in Stockholm. To read more about the project, please

or https://www.psykiatriforskning.se/kasp
Ultimately I hope that my research can lead to a better understanding of the
biological underpinnings of cognitive impairment in psychosis, and
potentially to new effective treatments for these symptoms.
