Assistant professor and specialist doctor in Clinical Chemistry.
The unit of Clinical Chemistry at Umeå University hospital performs coagulation assessments for the whole Northern region of Sweden. We also interpret the results to aid clinicians. To improve our interpretation of analyses in people with different conditions, such as pregnancy and atherosclerosis, we need better knowledge and better reference intervals for our support. Therefore, we focus our research on a better understanding of hemostatic factors and thrombophilic mechanisms to improve risk assessment and optimize preventive measures and treatments in the long term.
I work as a lecturer and case supervisor at the medical programme, 4:th semester, and at the biomedicine programme 6:th semester. I also have administrative responsibility for the laboratory course in Clinical Chemistry. Additionally, I have supervised students' Bachelor's thesis in Biomedical Laboratory Science for several years.
