I earned my PhD in Neuroscience from Karolinska Institutet, where I investigated the neuroinflammatory mechanisms underlying neonatal hypoxic–ischemic brain injury. I subsequently pursued postdoctoral research at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), focusing on microglia–neuron interactions in neonatal stroke.
Over time, my research interests expanded to include the role of peripheral immune signaling in the developing brain. Since my appointment as an Assistant Professor at Linköping University and the establishment of the Experimental Pediatrics Lab with focus on Perinatal Neuroscience, my research has focused on understanding how brain injuries during the neonatal period influence brain development, with particular emphasis on the mechanisms through which innate immune cells communicate with and shape the neuroinflammatory response in the post-ischemic brain.
