Anders Rehfeld


Anders Rehfeld finished his MD from the University of Copenhagen in 2014 and earned his PhD in male reproductive biology from the University of Copenhagen in 2017. He began teaching histology during the 3rd year of his medical studies and has since taught 19 classes of histology of tissues and basic cell biology at the University of Copenhagen. From the beginning of his teaching period, he has been eager to help his students comprehend the large curriculum in a smarter and faster way, and in 2012 his efforts culminated with the publishing of the first compendium on histology Histologi kompendium (in Danish) by the authors.

Malin Nylander
Malin Nylander graduated as a MD from the University of Copenhagen in 2012 and earned her PhD in gynecological endocrinology from the University of Copenhagen in 2017. With a great interest in human biology, she started teaching anatomy and histology halfway through medical school and has taught several classes of anatomy, histology, and human biology at the University of Copenhagen. Using a systematic approach combined with simple, schematic drawings on the black board, she tried to make the, at times, complicated curriculum comprehensible to all-something she implemented in the first compendium on histology Histologi kompendium (in Danish) published by the authors in 2012.


Kirstine Karnov In 2013 Kirstine Karnov obtained her MD from the University of Copenhagen. She is in residency to become an otorhinolaryngologist and is currently doing a PhD on oral cancer. She began teaching histology during the 3rd year of her medical studies and has taught multiple classes of anatomy, dissection, and histology at the University of Copenhagen during a period of 5 years. Teaching has been one of her most enjoyable and learning experiences in her professional career, and the fun in teaching culminated in 2012 when the first compendium on histology Histologi kompendium (in Danish) was published by the authors.
