I am a PhD student with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Molecular Medicine and a particular interest in the biology of the brain and psychiatric disorders. I am interested in understanding how biological changes in the brain are linked to mental illness and how research can contribute to better understanding, diagnosis, and treatment.
I study the biological mechanisms underlying mental health disorders, with a particular interest in the changes that occur in the brain. As a PhD student in Elfving’s laboratory, I investigate post-mortem brain tissue to identify potential biomarkers of mental health disorders. Through my research, I aim to contribute to a better understanding of the biological basis of mental illness and, ultimately, to the development of improved approaches to diagnosis and treatment.
At Aarhus University, I teach Neurobiology as part of the Master’s degree programme in Molecular Medicine and Biological Psychiatry as part of the Master’s degree programme in Medicine. In addition, I teach at ATU Midt, where talented upper-secondary school students are introduced to different academic fields and research environments at the university. I aim to make complex topics accessible and engaging for students with different academic backgrounds.
My primary area of work is research into psychiatric disorders, with a focus on schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. I investigate biological changes in post-mortem brain tissue with the aim of identifying potential biomarkers.
