Paolo Parini was a doctoral student and postdoctor at the Department of Medicine and then a doctor at the Endocrinology Clinic at Karolinska University Hospital in Huddinge.
Paolo Parini interest is in finding faults and “fixing them”. He is very much more interested in curing diseases than in the individual themselves. During high school he decided and wanted to become a nuclear physicist but realised that the field was too limited. But medical science has a bit of everything - from maths, chemistry and physics to psychology, psychiatry and philosophy.
