About me

  • I am a ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ doctor by training, currently being a postdoc in Professor Anders Sönnerborg’s research group at ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Stockholm, Sweden. My research focuses on severe outcomes during and beyond the acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. My PhD focused on epidemiological comparisons of COVID-19 with other respiratory viruses. Prior to this, I worked on elucidating the effect of human host factors on P. falciparum rosetting, with a special reference to human blood group antigens and the histo-blood group ABO system.

Research

Teaching

  • Teaching activities related to epidemiology, electronic health record systems, and parasitology. These teaching activities have included a wide range of target groups, including students in Medicine, Biomedicine, Opticians, Public health students, PhD-students and Postdoctoral researchers.
