Anders Johansson är från oktober 2026 statsepidemiolog och chef på avdelningen för smittskydd och beredskap vid Folkhälsomyndigheten. Han bedriver forskning anknuten till Umeå universitet inom området infektionsepidemiologi - att spåra smitta och förstå hur bakterier och virus sprids mellan människor och till människor från den omgivande miljön. Forskningen kartlägger vad som ökar eller minskar risken för infektion, till exempel hur människors beteende påverkar och hur förändringar av miljöfaktorer påverkar. Ett viktigt praktiskt mål med forskningen är att kunna minska risk för infektioner, både i samhället och bland patienter som kan drabbas av infektioner inom vård och omsorg.
