My main area is in clinical academic medicine. My work is a combination of clinical work in the field with research and teaching responsibilities.
During my employment, I am the theme leader for the Obstretric course on the veterinary program. I am involved in teaching, working as a clinic veterinarian at the Ambulatory Clinic, and supervising veterinary students in the field of reproduction.
My research is focused on reproductive physiology, biotechnology and antimicrobial resistance. Special focus is given on reduced use of antibiotics.
Ongoing research projects:
Evaluating the prevalence and risk factors for antimicrobial resistance bacteria isolated from the anterior vagina of dairy cattle. Gustafsson and Whitmore International Dairy Cattle Research Fund Award (Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, US)
An alternative to antibiotics in semen extenders – physical separation of spermatozoa from bacteria: an artificial insemination trial. Linnea och Axel Ericssons stipendiefond
Assessing differences in antimicrobial resistance patterns of bacteria in the anterior vagina of dairy cows before and after artificial insemination. Gustafsson and Whitmore Dairy Cattle Research Award Fund (Uppsala, SE)
