Supervisor Prof Geraldo Busatto. 2010-2015 * Visiting PhD student. Rotman Research Institute, University of Toronto. 2013 * Residency in Psychiatry. Institute of Psychiatry, University of Sao Paulo. 2007-2010 * Medical School, University of Sao Paulo. 2001- 2006

Research

My focus is to better describe changes in the connectivity of the human brain during aging, specially in dementia.

Teaching

Clinical supervision of psychiatric residents (ST-läkare, BT-läkare), interns (AT-läkare), medical students (KUL, läkarkandidat). Main supervisor of psychiatric residents (ST-läkare). Organisation of course Dementia and cognitive disorders for specialist doctors.
