About me
- Raised in Dorotea, southern Lapland in North Sweden, I am still interested
in skiing, cross-country and downhill. Medical studies at Karolinska
Institutet, where my research started (during the second year of medical
studies) at the Dept. of Cell Research and Genetics. Graduated in 1967 with a
thesis on microfluorimetric studies on tissue biogenic amines. Training
in paediatrics started the year after dissertation, and the lab research
moved to the hospital area after my training in paediatric endocrinology
at the Univ. of North Carolina. The Paediatric Endocrinology Laboratory that
was started in 1970 at the Clinical Research Labs has gradually grown to its
present impressive size - 2 full professors, one emeritus (myself, since
2002) 3 assistant professors and about 20 fellows from may different
countries. The present leadership deserves all admiration!

Scandinavia 1977

Paediatric Endocrinology for outstanding contributions to paediatric
endocrinology 1993

Research
- Initially experimental research on testicular physiology and pathology, later
more and more clinical research on testicular and adrenal disorders,
including Disorders of Sex Development and clinical studies on growth and
puberty.
