David Schmidt

I'm a specialist trainee in pediatrics and pediatric hemostasis, Astrid Lindgren Children's Hospital, and associate researcher at the Department of Women's and Children's Health (KBH), Karolinska Institutet. My interests are studies on the intersection of laboratory biomedicine and epidemiology in hemostasis and thrombosis (blood clotting).

I like to approach clinical challenges through a holistic framework which features continuous flow from challenge to research and implementation. For my future, I aspire to participate in collaborative, excellent translational clinical research, combining basic and clinical sciences, while assuring societal relevance and impact as core principles.
