Professor of Neurology; Senior Consultant in Neurology at Lund University Sweden. Researching Fluid and imaging biomarkers for neurodegenerative disorders.
Oskar has always been interested by the brain. He started doing research in experimental neuroscience at medical school at the age of 20. After finishing his PhD, he completed the clinical part of medical school, and then it became clear that dementia disorders were largely ignored by by both the society and health care, even these diseases they have devastating effects on the affected individuals and their loved ones. He therefore decided to start working on biomarkers for early detection of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease. Already 20 years ago it was very clear that more work was needed to be able to identify these diseases before widespread neurodegeneration and disabling symptoms have already developed. At these early disease stages , diseases are more likely to substantially slow down or even stopped.
