About me

  • I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Psychiatry Research and a licensed clinical psychologist. My research focuses on individuals with psychosis and schizophrenia. 

Research

  • My main research focus is cognition in individuals with psychosis and how this relates to brain function, genetics and functional outcome. To study this I utilize methods such as molecular brain imaging, cognitive testing and the national Swedish registries. The clinical platform for my studies is the Karolinska Schizophrenia Project (KaSP), an ongoing multidisciplinary collaboration between several research groups and several psychiatric clinics in Stockholm. To read more about the project, please visit /en/research/the-karolinska-schizophrenia-project-kasp ;or ;

    Ultimately I hope that my research can lead to a better understanding of the biological underpinnings of cognitive impairment in psychosis, and potentially to new effective treatments for these symptoms.

Teaching

  • I am responsible for a course in psychosis and psychotic disorders for clinical psychologists within Region Stockholm psychiatry in specialist training. Additionally, I have teaching activities at the undergraduate programme for psychologist at Stockholm Universite, at the undergraduate programmes for ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ students and psychologists at the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ as well as for case managers and residents in psychiatry in Region Stockholm. The topics include: introdution to psychotic disorders, cognitive function and cognitive assessment in psychotic disorders and psychotherapy in psychotic disorders.
