Lund University Department of Experimental Medical Science
I am a PhD candidate at Lund University studying immune reactions in Parkinson's disease (PD) in the Translational Neurogenetics Unit lead by Dr. Maria Swanberg. More specifically I study the effects on antigen presentation capacity and how it affects susceptibility and progression of PD and the interplay between the innate and adaptive immune system using an in vivo rat model of PD.
