Postdoctor
Department of Internal Medicine and Clinical NutritionAbout Karin Nilsson
Karin Nilsson is a postdoctoral researcher in Sofia Skrtic's group at the Deparment of Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition. She defended her thesis "NOTUM and RSPO3 in Bone - WNT signaling modulators regulating the skeleton" in May 2023. Her research primarily focuses on identifying genes that regulate bone mass using various mouse models, aiming to discover novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of osteoporosis.
