Mitt forskningsområde är neurodegenerativa sjukdomar och särskilt sjukdomen amyotrofisk lateralskleros (ALS). I min forskning undersöker jag samband mellan kliniska sjukdomsuttryck av ALS, genetiska varianter och hur det ser ut mikroskopiskt i hjärnan. Målet är att hitta nya angreppspunkter för behandling. Jag är också neurolog och prövare i kliniska läkemedelsstudier med syfte att bromsa och förebygga ALS.
