Lisa Strömmer

I am a docent and trauma and emergency surgeon. In 2001 I defended my doctoral thesis on glucose metabolism post-surgery. Since 2009 I have been docent in surgery at KI. My research focuses on traumatology, and I do clinical teaching in emergency and trauma surgery, as well as disaster medicine preparedness. 
Moreover, I am an expert coordinator at the Centre for Health Crises, in the field of emergency and trauma surgery, with a particular focus on needs when resources are limited.

In addition to my work at KI, I work as a senior consultant in surgery at St Göran's Hospital and as ME Trauma Emergency surgery, Orthopaedics,  Emergency and Reparative Medicine, at Karolinska University Hospital Solna.

Previously, I have been the chairperson of the Swedish Association for Emergency Surgery and Traumatology (Svensk förening för akutkirurgi och traumatologi) and I remain involved with the association in teaching and development work.
