After the master in Lund I have continued my studies in the Netherlands. Quickly I realized that the independent, critical, and detail oriented attitude I acquired in Lund has aided me strongly throughout my further career. Currently I am a PhD student studying the neurological disease Multiple Sclerosis.
My interdisciplinary research background still aids me daily in being successful in my job."
