I am an Associate Professor (Docent) in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism at Uppsala University, and I serve as Chief Scientific Officer and Head of Clinical Development at Empros Pharma AB, where I have led the clincial development of a new obesity treatment.

I often describe myself as a “specialized generalist.” My deepest expertise lies in human physiology, nutrition, and sleep. It is an unusual combination of perspectives, and one that helps me see the connections between pharmaceuticals and lifestyle where others see separate questions.

Alongside my research, I have spent more than 25 years teaching students at the Medical Faculty nutrition. Explaining and discussing complex science in an accessible way is something I genuinely enjoy and it is also the motivation behind this blog.

In my work with clinical studies, I hold a clear philosophy: less is more. I believe the most valuable skill in clinical research is the ability to strip away the non-essential and design smart, resource-efficient studies that deliver clear answers without unnecessary complexity, time, or cost.
