About me

I am a final year PhD candidate and a junior doctor (leg. läkare). My research focuses on long-term outcomes of the congenital malformation hypospadias. Most of my studies are epidemiological, register-based studies using national Swedish registers. I also teach medical students at Karolinska Institutet in professional development (Professionell utveckling) and epidemiology (course Medicinsk vetenskaplig metodologi).

 

Research description

I am currently a PhD student in Professor Agneta Nordenskjölds research group with a project entitled Lifelong health and well-being in men born with hypospadias. Main supervisor: Anna Skarin Nordenvall. I completed my half-time seminar in February 2021.
