I am a clinically active resident physician who, at the start of the pandemic, worked at the infectious disease clinic and quickly found myself in the middle of the difficult situation the healthcare system faced in those years. This, together with interested senior colleagues, spurred my interest in research, to learn more about the disease that initially nobody knew anything about.
Gustaf Forsberg
My research is about severe COVID-19, recovery afterwards, risk factors for more severe disease and pathophysiology.
