Research

  • My research focuses on different aspects of rational use of medicines, in
    particular regarding management of infectious diseases in low-and
    middle-income countries (LMIC). Within this field my interest spans broadly
    from behavioural change and policy to pharmacokinetics and resistance
    mutations. Although my main focus is on LMIC, it also includes work in
    high-income settings, such as Sweden. I aim to develop models for improving
    treatment of infectious diseases that can be applied in both low- and
    high-resource settings. The major part of my work has a health systems
    approach but also includes clinical trials with pharmacokinetic and
    pharmacogenetic aspects and how these influence treatment outcome and
    practices.
