Research

  • My research is in the field of psychoneuroimmunology, which is the study of
    how the immune system affects the brain and the behavior. During my doctoral
    thesis, I used experimental inflammatory models to understand how
    inflammation affects the perception of pain, and how the brain is affected by
    inflammation. In my current studies, I use a translational approach where the
    theories from experimental research are tested in clinical settings. Some of
    the research questions I am working on are if ongoing, low-grade inflammation
    affects cognitive behavioral treatment for chronic pain, and if the
    inflammatory load during pollen season affect the pain system in allergic
    patients.
