<!-- My largest scientific contributions have been on the role of monocytes and NK cells in immune reactions. Focus has been on regulation of TNF production from monocytes (we were among the first to identify TNF from monocytes), its role in sepsis and TNF effects through the two TNF receptors. During recent years my interests have been centred on Toll-like receptor expression and signalling and to establish optical imaging techniques for this purpose. I have also made contributions in the alginate encapsulation field where my interests have been on foreign body reaction towards the capsule material. I have published ca 200 full papers that cover these research areas. -->
