Research

I did my doctoral thesis on severe viral respiratory tract infections in children. My current research is focused on pediatric infectious diseases with a particular interest in respiratory infections and I am involved in both clinical and register-based studies.

• Appeasing the wheezing - assessing causes and consequences of severe respiratory infections and asthma in children
• Trial of Respiratory infections for ENhanced Diagnostics (TREND) - clinical study at Sachs' Children and Youth Hospital with the aim to improve diagnostics and management of pediatric pneumonia

I am also part of the following international consortia:
• EPISODES/REPEM network - Assessing pediatric emergency visits in Europe in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic
• RSV GOLD - Aiming at identifying risk factors for fatal RSV infection in children
• PEGASUS - European research network for studies of invasive group A streptococcal infections in children
