Om mig
Peter Stenvinkel (PS) is a senior lecturer at Karolinska University Hospital and Professor of Nephrology at Karolinska Institutet (KI). In collaboration with basic research labs, Baxter Novum, geneticists, and epidemiologists.
PS conducts translational research with focus on risk factors for metabolic, cardiovascular and nutritional complications in chronic kidney disease (CKD). PS also conduct biomimetic studies to learn from solutions developed in nature in collaboration with ecologists, biologists, and veterinarians.
His research is funded by CIMED, the Swedish Medical Research Council, ALF, Heart and Lung Foundation, Westman Foundation, KI funds and EU Marie Curie Program [ki.se/en/clintec/researchers-renal- medicine].
He has published about 625 original publications and reviews and >35 book chapters on various aspects of inflammation, wasting and metabolism in chronic kidney disease patients.
His Hirsch index is 93 according to PubMed and 119 according to Google Scholar.
He has given more than 430 invited lectures at various international meetings and congresses in about 30 different countries.
Visiting Associate Professor University of California Davis, USA 2000-2001. Visiting Professor Perth Australia Nov 2013
