About me

    • Senior Consultant Respiratory Physician at Karolinska University Hospital.

Research

  • I am a respiratory physician-scientist, balancing active clinical practice with clinical and translational research on airway diseases, particularly severe asthma and bronchiectasis.
    My research aims to bridge the gap between clinical manifestations and the underlying inflammatory and immunological mechanisms driving these conditions. By uncovering these connections, we strive to advance understanding and improve outcomes for patients living with complex airway diseases.
    Currently, my work includes clinical studies characterizing patients with severe asthma, bronchiectasis, and COPD. In parallel, my basic and translational research focuses on the role of T-regulatory cells in modulating airway inflammation, with the goal of identifying novel pathways for therapeutic intervention.

Teaching

  • I actively participate in medical education at the graduate and post-graduate levels. 

    Teaching  at the graduate level for medical and dental students  and the 
    post-graduate level for nurses at  Karolinska Institutet.
