Background/biography

Having finished his PhD in Clinical Medicine at Lund University, Simon joined the unit in October 2013 while also continuing his clinical work as an intern at Skåne University Hospital, Malmö. Supported by the Royal Physiographic Society, he is currently investigating the association between in utero exposure of preeclampsia and later cardiac structure and function using data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC - a UK birth cohort).
