Research

  • Transfusion Medicine is a clinically important part of modern medicine and
    research in this field has vast translational potential. Platelet transfusion
    in thrombocytopenia and erythrocyte transfusion in anemia are well
    established and routinely used in the clinic. Our main research interest is
    exploring the concept of neutrophil transfusion to neutropenic patients with
    antibiotic refractory infections. Neutrophil transfusion is currently
    utilized sparingly, mainly due to logistical challenges. We are in the
    process of developing "off-the-shelf" neutrophil concentrates, drastically
    cutting costs and logistical hassle. Other research areas that we work with
    include enzymatic conversion of blood groups, citrate metabolism during
    apheresis treatments, harvesting and processing of stem cell grafts.
    Our clinic handles the logistics around all Stem Cell Transplantations at
    Karolinska University Hospital. This setup provides us with access to large
    amounts of human hematopoietic stem cells from healthy donors as well as
    cancer patients. We have ethical permit for /ex vivo /culture, running
    various experiments including sequencing, CRISPR and animal transplantation
    as well as biobanking them. In my group, we are interested in characterizing
    the adhesion molecules on stem cells and understanding their role in
    maintaining stem cells through integrin signaling.
