Short presentation
I work as a family physician and as a senior lecturer in Family Medicine. As a lecturer I am also engaged in starting up Academic Primary Healthcare Centres (APHC) in Uppsala county. My research is focused on facilitating tailored diabetes care by studying clinical identifiers that can serve as prognostic factors.
As a senior medical advisor for the Uppsala Region test unit and as co-P.I. for the research project CRUSH-Covid I work hard to stop the spread of Covid-19
