Kirsten Jungersen – associated researcher

My work at Medical Museion

My aim is to go beyond the traditional accounts of medical history by studying the original texts in classical Greek and Latin. This enables me to eliminate some of the mistakes that have been handed down through the centuries.

My ambition is also to keep up-to-date with current advances in the field of medical history.
