Research

  • My research concerns mechanotransduction [1] (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2021 [2]) and product development for physiological disorders at large. I returned to Sweden in 2014 to delve into health care and turn my bioscience and engineering background into life science applications for
    clinical use.

Teaching

  • I am head of the Product Development in Life Sciences course at KI since December 2021. In my pedagogic work I make use of my experience in synthetic biology wetware, digital health software engineering from both Oxford and Microsoft Research, as well as immaterial property, regulatory and innovation processes from my roles as life science CTO and founder.
