Han var prefekt vid Institutionen för folkhälsovetenskap mellan 2018 och 2023 och föreståndare för Centre for Health Equity Studies (CHESS) mellan 2016-2018.

Mer specifikt handlar Mikael’s forskning bland annat om:
- Hälsa bland personer med utländsk bakgrund och dess sociala determinanter
- Covid-19 dödlighet och sjuklighet bland personer med utländsk bakgrund samt dess förklaringsfaktorer
- Hur sociala nätverk och socialt kapital påverkar hälsa och hälsobeteenden
- Sjukdom och dödlighet efter förlust av anhörig
