About me
- Associate Professor/Senior Lecturer
Researh Group: https://ki.se/en/kisos/the-neurocardiometabol-group
In February 2009 I was recruited to Karolinska Institutet to start up a
research group about the neurological complications of type 2 diabetes, with
main focus on stroke. I am responsible for planning, coordinating and
executing work in the area of experimental stroke in diabetes.

Research
- *Stroke and Diabetes*
The focus is along two research lines, see also the Research Group at:
https://ki.se/en/kisos/the-neurocardiometabol-group
* The identification of efficacious preclinical therapies for the treatment
of stroke in diabetes.
* The study of the cellular mechanisms at the basis of the neurological
complications of diabetes.
Stroke affects several million people worldwide, of which a substantial
proportion of cases present in patients suffering from diabetes. Diabetes is
widespread and represents a leading cause of death. About 90 % of the medical
and social costs associated with diabetes are dominated by care for
macrovascular complications such as stroke. Therefore it is important to
identify strategies aimed at prevent stroke in diabetes but also improve
post-stroke recovery in diabetic individuals.
-We recently showed that decreasing weight in diabetes to the extent that
glucose metabolism is normalized significantly improves stroke recovery:
https://news.ki.se/weight-loss-may-repair-the-brain-after-stroke-in-diabetes.
[1]The findings have been published in /Cardiovascular Diabetology/
-GLP-1R agonists are commonly used drugs for the treatment of type 2
diabetes. We were the first in 2012 to show that the activation of the
glucagon-like receptor 1 (GLP-1R) is neuroprotective against stroke in type 2
diabetic rodents. The findings have been published in /Clinical Science/:
https://pubmed-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.proxy.kib.ki.se/22150224/ [2]
In 2021, we showed that this pharmacological strategy can also improve
post-stroke functional recovery. The findings have been published in the
/British Journal of Pharmacology/
https://pubmed-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.proxy.kib.ki.se/33973246/ [3]
-We demonstrated a similar stroke efficacy as for the GLP-1R agonists for
another class of clinically used drugs against diabetes called DPP-4
inhibitors. The findings were published in /Diabetes/ in
2012 https://pubmed-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.proxy.kib.ki.se/23209191/ [4] and 2021
https://pubmed-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.proxy.kib.ki.se/32540876/ [5].
See also the press release about the findings 2012
https://news.ki.se/diabetes-drug-may-reduce-brain-damage-after-stroke [6]
-We identified several cellular mechanisms that are induced by diabetes and
play a detrimental role in the impairment of stroke recovery. Among the most
recent publications are the findings recently published in /Clinical
Science /https://pubmed-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.proxy.kib.ki.se/31235555/ [7] and
/Acta Neuropathologica Communications
/https://pubmed-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.proxy.kib.ki.se/29471869/ [8]
