Research

  • My main focus is liver-related epidemiology, with a specific interest in fatty liver disease. Key questions that my group focuses on include long-term outcomes of fatty liver disease, now the most common chronic liver disease with a global prevalence of more than 30%. We aim to identify risk factors for disease progression. I have been instrumental in developing one of the globally largest cohorts of patients with fatty liver disease. We use a combination of well-phenotyped patient cohorts with large-scale epidemiology, and have several collaborations with basic scientists and international colleagues. Some current initiatives includes the Fatty Liver In Sweden multi-center cohort of longitudinally examined patients, and the screening initiative SCANDIA where 1000 patients with type 2 diabetes have been screened for presence and severity of fatty liver disease.

Teaching

  • I am currently the main supervisor of five PhD-students and three postdocs. Regular bedside teaching of medical students. Frequent (>15) supervisor of master thesis in research for medical students.
