Maria Eriksson Svensson

Maria Eriksson Svensson is a Professor at Uppsala University's Department of Medical Sciences, specializing in Renal Medicine. She also serves as Head of the UCR-Uppsala Clinical Research center. Her work spans multiple research areas with a strong focus on kidney disease, diabetes complications, and cardiovascular outcomes in renal patients.

Professor Svensson's research interests primarily focus on renal medicine, with particular emphasis on kidney function assessment, chronic kidney disease progression, and the interplay between kidney disease and cardiovascular outcomes. Her work spans both clinical and translational research, examining biomarkers, treatment strategies, and outcomes in patients with kidney disease. She has made significant contributions to understanding the relationship between obesity, adipose tissue biology, and kidney function. Her research also extends to clinical trials methodology and real-world evidence generation in nephrology.

Her recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward investigating biomarkers for kidney function and cardiovascular risk in renal patients, exploring the impact of obesity on kidney function, and examining treatment patterns and outcomes in chronic kidney disease management. Her work often leverages large datasets and multinational collaborations to address important clinical questions in nephrology.

As Head of the UCR-Uppsala Clinical Research center and Professor in Renal Medicine, she oversees multiple research projects and collaborates with various clinical and research teams across Uppsala University. Her leadership position indicates involvement in mentoring junior researchers and shaping the research agenda in renal medicine.
