About me

  • I am a Senior Consultant in Infectious Diseases at Karolinska University Hospital and an Associate Professor/Adjunct Lecturer at Karolinska Institutet. My clinical work, research, and teaching focus on acute infectious diseases, predominantly sepsis, across the hospital care continuum—from outpatient and emergency care to general wards, intermediate care, and intensive care. Since 2019, I have chaired the national Patient-centred Clinical Pathway for Sepsis, and we are currently establishing a national surveillance system to evaluate its impact.

Research

  • My research focuses on translational research in acute infectious diseases, predominantly sepsis, integrating cellular analyses, transcriptomics, proteomics, clinical biomarker discovery, and studies of immunomodulatory therapies. I also conduct epidemiological studies on COVID-19 and am currently working to establish a new national surveillance system for sepsis, that will enable different types of research.

Teaching

  • I am actively engaged in teaching and supervision across multiple levels of healthcare education. In my daily clinical practice at a university hospital, I provide continuous teaching for medical students, nursing students, junior physicians, and nurses. I also contribute to research training by supervising doctoral students at Karolinska Institutet and mentoring medical students in degree projects. In addition, I regularly deliver lectures for healthcare practitioners as part of continuing professional development. Within the Infectious Diseases course, I teach medical students through lectures, seminars, and bedside teaching, with a focus on translating clinical infectious diseases practice into evidence-based learning.
