Research

  • I lead independent research in the large-scale epidemiology of dermatological conditions. One main focus is on Autoimmune Blistering Disorders, a group of particularly severe dermatological diseases that can be life-threatening. My work also spans autoimmune, immune-mediated, and inflammatory conditions, as well as skin cancers and related disorders. In addition to epidemiological studies, I conduct clinical research and pilot treatment studies.

    My research benefits from multiple national and international collaborations, including:

    • National: ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, Uppsala University, University of Gothenburg
    • European: University of Lübeck, Technical University of Munich, University of Oldenburg, University of Florence
    • International: Columbia University, UCLA, Rush University Medical Center (Chicago)

    I actively welcome motivated students, postdocs, and collaborators interested in advancing research in dermatology and epidemiology.
