About me
I am a registered dietitian specialized in Pediatrics and Neonatology with 7+ years of clinical experience working in the pediatric and neonatal ward at Karolinska University Hospital. I am currently conducting my PhD at the Department of Women's and Children's Health at Karolinska Institutet. My research is primarily directed towards neonatal nutrition to extremely preterm infants focusing on the effect of macronutrient intake, human milk fortifiers and probiotic supplementation on gastrointestinal complications, growth and body composition.
