My research focuses on different aspects of rational use of medicines, regarding management of infectious diseases common in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC). Within this field my interest spans broadly from behavioural change and policy to pharmacokinetics and resistance mutations. Although my focus is on LMIC, I also work in high-income settings, such as Sweden. I aim to develop models for improving treatment of infectious diseases that can be applied in both low- and high-resource settings. A major part of my work has a health systems approach but also includes clinical trials with pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic aspects and how these influence treatment outcome and practices.
