About me

Carl studied medicine at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Germany and obtained a doctoral degree at the department of Virology with a thesis on interferon stimulated genes. He received clinical surgical training in general and transplantation surgery at Karolinska University Hospital. Carl obtained his PhD at Karolinska Institutet in 2015 on clinical and experimental hepatocyte transplantation. Carl is currently the head of liver transplantation at the Department of Transplantation Surgery, Karolinska University Hospital.

Research

Carl´s research involves translational research in organ donation and transplantation as well as regenerative medicine. His research includes organ donation from neonatal donors, clinical and experimental hepatocyte transplantation.
