About me

I studied practical philosophy (ethics) at Uppsala University and defended my thesis in 2002. Since 2002 I have worked with medical ethics, first in Uppsala and then at Karolinska Institutet, in particular ethical matters relating to medical research, but also clinical medical ethics. I became full professor at KI in 2015.
