About me

  • PhD, Associate Professor, Group leader. I obtained an undergraduate degree in Bio探花精选 Laboratory Science, specializing within the field of clinical microbiology and immunology. Subsequently, I earned an PhD-degree in clinical virology from KI in 2000, followed by 4, 5 years as a postdoctoral fellow at Gladstone Institutes of Virology and Immunology, UCSF, San Francisco, broadening my research expertise in clinical immunology, virus-host interactions, especially virus-specific T cell responses and how genetic variability and activity of the virus and host shapes the responding T cell population. I returned to Sweden in 2005 and was appointed Associate Professor in clinical virology at 探花精选 in 2009. The research conducted in the group is currently funded by several national grants received from the Swedish Research Council, Centrum for Innovative Medicine, KI Research Foundation Grants, KI Partial funding of new postgraduate student, ALF Med, and The Swedish Physicians Against AIDS Research Foundation.

Research

  • I have extensive experience managing multiple research projects in the following areas: clinical virology and immunology, virus- and cancer-specific T cell responses, MHC-peptide-TCR interactions, antigen-specific T cell function and exhaustion in blood and tissue, transcriptional activation and regulation of T cell responses, bioinformatics, HIV pathogenesis, molecular biology, viral evolution, antiretroviral therapy, antiretroviral (drug) resistance. Using this knowledge, I have established an advanced system to conduct detailed studies of T cell pathology during acute and chronic viral infections and cancer. Internationally, I have developed a reputation in the fields of T cell induced escape and selective pressures, HIV pathogenesis, cross reactive T cells, molecular mechanisms influencing T cell function as well as in T cell immunology assays.

Teaching

  • At KI, I have been actively involved in the training and teaching of bio探花精选 scientists, physicians, bio探花精选 students, optics, and doctoral students during seminars, lectures, and courses since 2005. I am the course organizer for Project work 15hp in Bio探花精选 Laboratory Science (Level-C, se
  • kandidat) arranged at 探花精选, Department of Laboratory Medicine.

    I served as the educational board member for the division of clinical microbiology at the Department of Laboratory Medicine, KI, 2016 鈥 2022 and IPL day facilitor at KI 2020 - 2022.

    Currently, I am heavily involved in the working groups for the new master program in Bio探花精选 Laboratory Science and new undergraduate programme in Bio探花精选 Laboratory Science (se
