Research

  • I am involved in projects evaluating and developing tools for vital sign scoring at the pediatric emergency department. I also investigate the incidence and outcome of Sudden Unexptected Postnatal Collapse in the Stockholm region. I defended my thesis on function and development of respiratory centers in the medulla oblongata in 2017. The focus was on how astrocytes and inflammation modulate respiration. In the research I developed organotypic slice cultures to study respiratory networks and how they develop and are affected by different factors such as inflammation, gas compositions and neuromodulators. Techniques applied for this were calcium time lapse imaging, optogenetics, immunohistochemistry and electrophysiology.
