Ooooo my godness I am mediastar ;)

It all started on monday when a old work colleague from my days as a news photographer contacted me. She is still a journalist and works for the government owned television network. They wanted to do a piece on my situation  as a young woman  being  sick in Alzheimer’s, for there local news. My father’s old doctor Lennart Minton I think I was about 13 years old the first time I met him. He is not a practicing doctor anymore but he is researcher and the big news this week was that he has invented a way to grow nerve cells outside the human body. This way they don’t need to do animal medical testing for new alzheimer’s drugs. And also they can  speed up the whole process of developing new medicine for alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases to come even quicker to the market.  So they wanted me to comment on his findings and I happily did that.

So in that same day I did a lot of interviews for different TV channels and newspapers were they wanted to know how I felt about the whole thing. Of Course I´m thrilled! This will surely help my kids ! But not me sadly….. Here is  the link to one of the interviews https://www.facebook.com/sofia.petersson.35#

I’m so looking forward to my next project  involving  Women’s Brain Project. The Alzheimer europe conference in Berlin 2-4 of october 2017. Me and Annemarie Schumacher from  will be on an interactive panel session discussing the impact of alzheimer’s on the woman.
I’m so excited there is so much to see and take in and I have already printed out the whole program and underlined the things I want to listen to and people I want to talk to….

We are here to transform medicine and healthcare towards precision medicine. Right now, there is a critical need for your support. Donate today and help us continue to study Sex and Gender differences impacting brain and mental diseases.

Health begins with human beings, individuals – men and women are different when it comes to brain and mental disease frequency, severity, symptomatology, risk factors and even response to treatments. Thanks to the gifts from supporters like you the scientific community is starting to take note. We have shown the world that in diseases like Alzheimer’s for instance, disease progression is faster in women than men and women show different levels of biomarkers.

Our goal is to clearly identify such differences in diseases, diagnostic, and treatments, as well as novel technologies, and leverage them for better solutions. We ask for better clinical outcomes, better care, and innovative artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions. Sex and gender differences are the first steps towards precision medicine, which acknowledges the specific needs of each patient. Our ultimate ambition is the realisation of the Research Institute for Sex and Gender Precision Medicine.
