About me
Biomedical scientist doing a Ph.D. in tick-borne infections.
I moved to Linköping to become a biomedical scientist and stayed due to my interest in research about ticks and tick-borne infections. In earlier projects, I've mainly worked with the prevalence and diversity of tick-borne pathogens in ticks from field collections and detached from participants. These works sparked my interest in gaining a better understanding of the human immune response to tick-borne infections, and how these diseases are diagnosed.

Can FluoroSpot be used as a better diagnostic tool for tick-borne diseases?
Tick-borne diseases are an increasing problem as the geographical spread of ticks increases, and we find them to be vectors for more pathogens that cause disease in humans. The diagnostic tools for important tick-borne diseases, such as TBE (tick-borne encephalitis) and Lyme disease, have clear limitations that could be evaded using other tools, such as FluoroSpot.
