Research

  • I work mainly on register-based studies of perinatal risk-factors and
    outcomes, focusing on near-term and term newborn infants. Specifically,
    I perform *diagnostic studies* of the routine examination of newborn
    infants and cohort studies of *neonatal hypoglycaemia *treated at the
    well-baby clinic. As a side-track I am also working with studies
    on *paediatric gastroenterology *and *neonatal seizures*. Since 2020, I have
    been leading and working on studies on *MIS-C* (Multisystem Inflammatory
    Syndrome in Children) which is a hyperinflammatory syndrome caused by
    COVID-19 infection. We are currently running several different projects based
    on clinical data från the Swedish Pediatric Rheumatology Registry.
    I have a great interest in pedagogy and teaching. In 2020, I created and
    lead a course for clinical postdoc researchers in Stockholm Pediatric and
    Ob/Gyn Healthcare called "*Docentstrimman*". There was no prior education
    tailor-made for this group and the course was highly appreciated. I have also
    been responsible for a week-long course in *Pediatric Rheumatology* for
    resident doctors in Pediatrics. I still teach at the *KI/SLL Research
    School in Epidemiology* and I have organized several epidemiology courses
    of different formats for other post-graduate students.
    I have been *visiting professor at Humanitas University* in Milan, Italy
    2015-2016. This cooperation has led to one manuscript so far. I am also
    cooperating with *SDA Bocconi School of Management *and Milano-Bicocca
    University in Milan. Among other things, I have taught epidemiology at the
    SDA Bocconi Master of International Health Care Management, Economics and
    Policy (MIHMEP), an international leadership course for physicians at
    Humanitas/Bocconi and to the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ students at Humanitas.
