Agneta Richter Dahlfors

Agneta Richter Dahlfors is Professor at Karolinska Institutet's Department of Neuroscience, where she leads a multidisciplinary research group focused on infection pathophysiology and organic bioelectronics. Her team combines expertise in microbiology, neuroscience, and medical engineering to develop novel approaches for understanding and treating infections.

Her research program has two primary focus areas:

• Tissue microbiology: Using intravital techniques to study infection dynamics in organs
• Organic bioelectronics: Developing polymer-based devices for neuromodulation

Professor Richter Dahlfors' recent publications demonstrate advances in biofilm detection methods, host-pathogen interactions in kidney infections, and antimicrobial surface development. Her group maintains international collaborations focused on developing new diagnostic tools and therapeutic approaches.

She directs the AIMES Center for the Advancement of Integrated Medical and Engineering Sciences, facilitating cross-disciplinary research between medical and engineering domains.
