About

As a postdoctoral researcher at Karolinska Institutet, I work on projects related to the treatment and progression of Myasthenia Gravis, a rare neuromuscular disorder, using data from the Swedish Myasthenia Gravis Registry (MGreg). I apply various analytical approaches for longitudinal data, such as survival, multistate, and competing risk models, to explore the effects of different therapies and prognostic factors on the disease outcomes. My research interests also include investigating the risk factors for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, using large Swedish cohorts and register data. I have experience conducting cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, literature reviews, and meta-analyses, using statistical software such as Stata and R. I have published multiple papers in peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences. I'm an enthusiastic and collaborative person, and I'm always open to new opportunities and challenges in the field of public health and neuroepidemiology.
