Sofia Carlsson
Sofia is associate professor in epidemiology at Karolinska Institutet. Her main area of interest is risk factors for adult onset diabetes such as type 2 diabetes and LADA.
Associates
Leif Groop
Leif is professor in endocrinology at Lund University and chief responsible for the ANDIS registry. Leif's main area of interest is how genetic factors influence the risk of developing diabetes as well as the treatment of diabetes.
