About me

  • I graduated from the Karolinska Institutet MD-program in 2000 and defended
    my PhD-thesis “Long-term cardiovascular follow-up after preterm birth”
    at the Karolinska Institutet in 2008. Since 2009, I am Board Certified
    Pediatrician in Sweden, and was International Board Certified Lactation
    Consultant (IBCLC) 2009-19. I am associate professor (docent) at KI since 2014.
    I have previously served as Scientific Secretary of the Swedish Pediatric
    Society 2014-2016, and Vice-President 2016-2018.
    Since 2017, I work at a Swedish med-tech scale-up, as Chief Medical Officer 2017-2020, and from 2020 as their CEO.

Research

  • My research in perinatal epidemiology focuses on cardiovascular disease in
    relation to preterm birth and other pregnancy complications, in both the
    mother and the child. I have investigated the long-term cardiovascular
    outcome after preterm birth
  • how the diagnostics of patent
    ductus arteriosus (PDA) could be improved and how treatment of of PDA is
    associated to short term morbidity and complications in very preterm infants.
    Moreover, I have been an investigator in the EPICE-project 2011-2016, a
    European FP7-financed project that has built a cohort of very preterm children in 19 European region and that studies implementation of evidence based practices and outcomes of European neonatal intensive care
    (http://www.epiceproject.eu/en/). Another research interest is the future
    cardiovascular health of women that delivered preterm or had other pregnancy
    complications, that I have previously investigated in collaboration with
    researchers from Umeå University, Sweden and the University of California
    San Francisco, USA.
