About me
I am a molecular biologist with a PhD in Molecular Biology from Karolinska Institutet (2004). As an Assistant Senior Lecturer and Departmental Director of Education at the Department of Learning, Informatics, Management and Ethics, I combine teaching, educational leadership, and research.
Education is a central part of my work, and I have extensive experience in teaching and educational development. I primarily teach bioentrepreneurship and scientific methods in advanced-level programmes.My research interests include bioentrepreneurship and innovation in the life sciences (including health care), as well as teaching and learning in higher education.
