Niclas Hagen
Born 1970 in Stockholm, Sweden and resident, since the late 1990: s, in Lund. I have done undergraduate studies at Lund University in genetics/molecular biology, as well as in sociology and political science in which I hold a masters degree. During 2009 I commenced my PhD studies in Ethnology, working within the Basal Ganglia Disorders Linnaean Consortium (http://www.med.lu.se/bagadilico). My research interest concerns the social and cultural aspects of genetics and neuroscience, particularly in relation to degenerative brain disorders and my research is focused on Huntington´s Disease, a genetic degenerative brain disorder. In addition to my research, I also take a strong interest in various aspects of interdisciplinary reserach.
