Lynnea Myers ’05 recently completed a second Ph.D. at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden on November 22, 2019. Lynnea’s Ph.D. thesis was titled “Morphological Variants in Neurodevelopmental Disorders” and resulted in manuscripts (3 published, 1 under review, 1 pending submission) on the identification of morphological variants in a unique cohort of twins recruited from the entirety of Sweden with diagnoses of neurodevelopmental disorders. Lynnea was selected through a highly competitive application process to participate in this prestigious Marie Curie project with a cohort of other early-stage researchers and leading scholars in the area of neurodevelopmental disorders. Lynnea will be returning to her faculty role as an Assistant Professor of Nursing at Gustavus this spring to teach courses in the nursing department and for the campus community broadly on nursing leadership, public health, and research. Lynnea also completed a Ph.D. in Nursing Science in 2017 from Vanderbilt University.
