Kort presentation
Forskare inom infektionssjukdomar vid Akademiska sjukhuset och Uppsala universitet, med fokus på mikrobiell genomik, antimikrobiell resistens (AMR) och patogenutveckling. Mitt arbete omfattar kliniska folkhälsoprojekt som led-, blod- och brännskadeinfektioner med fokus på AMR. Jag undersöker också hur urbanisering och mänskliga aktiviteter påverkar mikrobiomet hos vilda fåglar och spridningen av AMR i naturliga populationer, med ett starkt intresse för global hälsa.

My research focuses on clinical public health projects, including periprosthetic joint, blood, and burn infections. I also study the role of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in sewage and wastewater treatment plants, investigating how these environments contribute to the spread of resistant bacteria and impact public health. Additionally, I explore how urbanisation and human activities affect the microbiomes of wild birds, focusing on the spread of AMR in natural populations. My work highlights the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, addressing AMR from a One Health perspective.
At Uppsala University, I also collaborate as an associate researcher with the University of Arizona, focusing on Campylobacter infections in Peru. This research examines the genetic epidemiology of Campylobacter, aiming to understand its transmission and impact in low- and middle-income countries, contributing to global efforts to control infectious diseases and AMR.
