About me
Consultant in Hepatology at the Karolinska University Hospital.
Research description
My main focus is liver-related epidemiology, with a specific interest in fatty liver disease. Key questions that my group focuses on include long-term outcomes of fatty liver disease and identification of risk factors for disease progression. I have been instrumental in developing one of the globally largest cohorts with fatty liver disease.
We use a combination of well-phenotyped patient cohorts with large-scale epidemiology, and have several collaborations with basic scientists and international colleagues. Some current initiatives includes the Fatty Liver In Sweden multi-center cohort of longitudinally examined patients, and the screening initiative SCANDIA where 1000 patients with type 2 diabetes will be screened for presence and severity of fatty liver disease.
Teaching portfolio
I am currently the main supervisor for three PhD-students, and co-supervisor of three PhD-students.
