About me

  • I am Professor of Medical Clinical Ethics in the Stockholm Centre for Healthcare Ethics, Department of Learning, Informatics, Management and Ethics (LIME), KI.

    My primary research interests include ethical issues related to patients’ perspective and decision-making, the ethics of social care and public health, normative ethics and methodology of bioethics. I am the principal investigator of the interdisciplinary project "In the best interest of the child? Ethical, legal and empirical assessments of decisions in social service to restrict social contact", funden by the Swedish Research Council (2024-2026). It includes researchers from philosophy, public health, law and social work. I am also doing the ethics part in an ERAPerMed funded project, RELIABLE, in which we assess personalized preventive strategies for patients in the early stages of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), 2023-2025. I recently finalised a project that addressed patients’ views and the ethics of precision medicine in hematology within a European consortia, the 3-year project MEET-AML, funded by ERAPerMed.

    I teach ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ ethics at the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ school at KI, as well giving lectures and seminars for health care professionals around the country. I am a member of the Educational Committee at LIME (Department of Learning, Informatics, Management and Ethics).

    I am a member of the Ethics Council of Karolinska University Hospital, the Ethics council of Astrid Lindgren Children's Hospital, and the Scientific Advisory Committee for the Swedish Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Assessment of Social Services (SBU). During 2024-2025, I am also a consulting member of the writing group for the chapter of Ethics in Resuscitation, The ERC Guidelines 2025.
