About me

  • My goal is to develop cell therapies that will have an impact on the health
    of persons with severe disorders. An evidence of this is that I have brought
    a cell therapy from the bench to the bedside.
    I am driven by challenges, which has led me to initiate, lead and
    successfully fulfill several complex projects and educations in the field of
    regenerative medicine in the academia, the health care sector and in the
    industry. My motto in life and work is courage and passion, courage for
    daring to discover new paths, and passion, which is to always go the extra
    mile.
    * Established and lead Sweden鈥檚 altruistic Umbilical Cord Blood Bank at
    Karolinska University Hospital 2010-2016.
    * Secured > 73 million SEK as main Principle Investigator & > 30 million
    SEK as co-Principle Investigator.
    * Established an approved GMP-production of mesenchymal stem cells.
    * Initiated and lead the European Horizon 2020 BOOSTB4 project and clinical
    trial.
    * Established two approved and ongoing clinical trials investigating MSC
    transplantation as a treatment of brittle bone disease (Osteogenesis
    Imperfecta) in children.
    * Initiated the first clinical trial on prenatal stem cell transplantation
    in the world.

Research

  • Cells derived from the fetal and perinatal tissues have more potential than
    cells derived from adult tissues. Promising candidates for clinical
    translation are mesenchymal stem cells (MSC).
    My interest in these cells is based on their multipotentiality, low
    immunogenicity and tissue repairing effects in combination with a minimal
    oncogeneic risk.
    *1. BOOSTB4 and BOOST2B: Developing MSC as a therapy for Osteogenesis
    Imperfecta*
    In the BOOSTB4 and BOOST2B clinical trials fetal MSC are investigated as a
    therapy for severe types of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (inherited brittle bone
    disease). Previous case studies performed by us at KI have demonstrated a
    potential positive effect. The manufacturing of the MSC is led by Dr
    G枚therstr枚m and is performed at Karolinska Center for Cell Therapy at
    Karolinska University Hospital.
    Boost Brittle Bones Before Birth (*BOOSTB4*) is a European consortium lead
    by Dr G枚therstr枚m. The trial is investigating the safety and efficacy of
    this innovation in the treatment of Osteogenesis Imperfecta in the
    pediatric population. In the project we will also evaluate ethical standards
    and risks, acceptability and stakeholders views and experiences and health
    economics.
    Four doses of fetal MSC will be administered after birth (group 1,
