Marie Dahlin serves as Associate Professor (Docent) and Senior Lecturer in Psychiatry at Karolinska Institutet's Department of Clinical Neuroscience, concurrently holding the position of Director of KI's Medical Program. Her clinical practice operates through Norra Stockholms Psykiatri at S:t Göran's Hospital in Stockholm, where she functions as a Senior Physician. With over two decades of academic engagement since her 1994 medical degree, she maintains dual commitments to psychiatric research and medical education within Sweden's national healthcare framework.
Education:
- Docent (Associate Professor), Karolinska Institutet, 2017
- Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, 2007
- University Medical Degree, Karolinska Institutet, 1994
Research Focus: Her work concentrates on suicidology, particularly violence-related suicide risk in youth and university students, using national register data to identify predictors like psychosis comorbidity and violent attempt methods. Simultaneously, she leads transcultural psychiatry research examining migration's impact on mental health, including culturally sensitive diagnostics for eating disorders, asylum seeker suicide interventions, and barriers to child psychiatric services for migrant parents. Current projects address intergenerational trauma in Eritrean-Swedish communities and health communication during crises.
Publication Trends: Recent output (2024-2025) reveals heavy emphasis on suicide prevention tools (ASSIP, C-SSRS) and migration health disparities. She combines register epidemiology with qualitative fieldwork to analyze risk stratification in psychiatric emergencies and service access barriers for non-Swedish speakers. Key themes include gender differences in suicidal behavior, cultural adaptation of DSM-5 frameworks, and pandemic-era communication failures targeting vulnerable migrant populations in Järva/Södertälje.

Advising & Grants: As Medical Program Director, she oversees curriculum development without named graduate students. Her primary current grant is the Swedish Research Council-funded project (2022-2025) "Enhanced preparedness in a societal crisis" analyzing intercultural communication during COVID-19. The group participates in EPiCSS's TINA project for newly arrived children and collaborates with Lund University on ASSIP trials, though leadership roles in grants remain unspecified.
Labs & Teams: She heads the "Suicidology and transcultural psychiatry" research group physically based at Norra Stockholms Psykiatri's psychiatric emergency department. The team maintains strong ties to Region Stockholm's Transcultural Centre and Uppsala University, while operating under KI's Department of Clinical Neuroscience. Their unique position within an emergency facility enables near-patient research on acute suicide risk, complemented by qualitative work on migration health through Stockholm's Knowledge Centre in Transcultural Psychiatry.
