About me
I am a M.D. with training in general surgery and a Ph.D in epidemiology and biostatistics, under the supervision of Dr. Donghao Lu, Prof. Unnur Valdimarsdóttir, Dr. Emma Bränn, Dr. Jacob Bergstedt and Dr. Zheng Chang.
My research interest lies in immune regulation and women’s (mental) health. My doctoral thesis aims to examine the relationship between immune dysregulation and reproductive mood disorders(RMDs). This project leverages data from nationwide Swedish registers and prospective cohort studies from LifeGene and UK Biobank. Our findings are expected to significantly advance our understanding on the biological mechanisms underlying RMDs, and may offer concrete evidence on the long-term health impact of RMDs for healthcare providers and patients.
