Research
- I work mainly on register-based studies of perinatal risk-factors and
outcomes, focusing on near-term and term newborn infants. Specifically,
I perform *diagnostic studies* of the routine examination of newborn
infants and cohort studies of *neonatal hypoglycaemia *treated at the
well-baby clinic. As a side-track I am also working with studies
on *paediatric gastroenterology *and *neonatal seizures*. Since 2020, I have
been leading and working on studies on *MIS-C* (Multisystem Inflammatory
Syndrome in Children) which is a hyperinflammatory syndrome caused by
COVID-19 infection. We are currently running several different projects based
on clinical data från the Swedish Pediatric Rheumatology Registry.
I have a great interest in pedagogy and teaching. In 2020, I created and
lead a course for clinical postdoc researchers in Stockholm Pediatric and
Ob/Gyn Healthcare called "*Docentstrimman*". There was no prior education
tailor-made for this group and the course was highly appreciated. I have also
been responsible for a week-long course in *Pediatric Rheumatology* for
resident doctors in Pediatrics. I still teach at the *KI/SLL Research
School in Epidemiology* and I have organized several epidemiology courses
of different formats for other post-graduate students.
I have been *visiting professor at Humanitas University* in Milan, Italy
2015-2016. This cooperation has led to one manuscript so far. I am also
cooperating with *SDA Bocconi School of Management *and Milano-Bicocca
University in Milan. Among other things, I have taught epidemiology at the
SDA Bocconi Master of International Health Care Management, Economics and
Policy (MIHMEP), an international leadership course for physicians at
Humanitas/Bocconi and to the medical students at Humanitas.
