I’m a scientist, research strategist and communicator with experience spanning microbiology, analytical chemistry, biophysics, neuroscience, and medicine. As a consultant, I bring curiosity, enthusiasm and a fresh perspective to your research, offering hands-on help with all stages of your project. Read ahead on what to expect.
I work internationally within the academic, healthcare and industrial sectors, and am especially interested in the intersections of science, culture and policy.

Knowledge base and technical skillset
Critical thinking and attention to detail
Clarity of communication
Grant writing: Taking on the beast
It's common to lament the time it takes to prepare grants. The bureaucracy can be overwhelming, but institutional staff are experts in these services. I offer help with the remaining aspects, chiefly by identifying the exciting! The research plan takes stock of how far we've come, and where we want to go. Telling that story compellingly, and showing how we do it, is my approach. A key balance to strike is between the technical and the general, using language accessible to all.
Project management: Getting it done
As we move towards greater interdisciplinarity in research, projects often require floating several balls at the same time. I have experience with managing complex projects - planning experiments, interpreting results, solving technical challenges, building databases, coordinating interactions between teams, and steaming ahead on multiple fronts! I also assist with manuscript preparation, either editorially or as co-author, and handle reports to funding agencies and stakeholders.
Innovation: Turning knowledge into action
What does it take to implement research? Often, it's about finding partners to work with, sometimes to generate new questions, sometimes to solve existing challenges. To facilitate this process, I connect an ever-expanding, international network of prominent academics, industry partners, and public-sector stakeholders, with a focus on life-sciences. Applications I am familiar with include omics, biomarker discovery, drug discovery, applied AI, cell-, tissue- and clinical-imaging, big-data analysis, and app development.
Outreach: Showing why we do it
This is the fun part, where we celebrate achievements, get feedback on work in progress, and find connection with the world at large. It's a way to tell everyone why we're doing what we're doing. I build websites, slides decks and summaries to appeal to different target audiences (scientists, funders, the public). I also help prepare and review manuscripts and presentations.
IMPORTANTLY...
I maintain strict standards of confidentiality on all intellectual property I am tasked with (NDAs signed upon request). I never upload privileged information onto generative AI systems. Furthermore, I never use AI to generate content, beyond occasionally using it for background research. Any deviations from this approach will be explicitly communicated.
I offer a first consultation for free, to discuss your project-specific needs. Following that, my standard consultancy fee is 900 SEK per hour (excluding sales taxes and travel costs, if applicable).
For regular consultancy services, early-stage professionals, and public institutions, I offer alternative fee structures and contract/employment types.
