OLIN Luleå, Sunderbyn Umeå universitet, 901 85 Umeå

Jag är docent i lungmedicinsk forskning vid Umeå universitet och enhetschef vid Lung- och allergisektionen, Sunderby sjukhus, Region Norrbotten. Min forskning utgår från OLIN-studierna (Obstruktiv Lungsjukdom i Norrbotten) och det nationella kvalitetsregistret Luftvägsregistret. Forskningen fokuserar på astma och KOL, med särskilt intresse för epidemiologi, sjukdomsförlopp, könsskillnader, personcentrerad vård och implementering av riktlinjer. Jag handleder doktorander och postdoktorer samt verkar för att stärka forskningens koppling till klinisk verksamhet och förbättra vården för patienter med obstruktiva lungsjukdomar.

Min forskning finansieras huvudsakligen av:
