Medical Publications

In 2023, I received my Dr. rer. medic. degree from the Charté Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Although this means I have done medical research, please do not become seriously ill near me since i am not a medical doctor (MD, Dr. med.). However, if you need someone to compute the statistics for your medical study, especially if your research touches on musicians’ medicine, I could probably help you. If you are interested in my research, you can search for me on Pubmed.


Here are some of the publications to which I have contributed:
