About me
- I am a clinical oncologist, certified by the National Board of Health
(2015), Sweden. Since 2015, I work at the Pediatric Oncology Unit, Karolinska
University Hospital. Here I see children with all kinds of malignant
diseases but have the responsibility for those with lymphoma and bone
sarcoma. I am also shifting gears in research focus, from adults with
lymphoma to children (and young adults) with lymphoma or sarcoma.
