معرفی
Tomas Jernberg is a Professor of Cardiology and Head of the Department of Clinical Sciences, Danderyd Hospital (KI DS) at Karolinska Institutet. His role combines academic leadership with clinical expertise as a Senior Physician, overseeing research and education at the department. He chairs the National Program Group for cardiovascular diseases and previously led the SWEDEHEART registry, a key Swedish cardiac care registry.
Education:
- Medical Degree, Karolinska Institutet (1993)
- Associate Professor, Cardiology, Uppsala University (2003)
- Professor in Epidemiology, Karolinska Institutet (2016)
- Professor in Cardiology, Karolinska Institutet (2019)
Research Interests: His research focuses on acute and chronic coronary syndromes, including randomized clinical trials, observational studies, and epidemiological analyses using national registries. He develops imaging methods like coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to identify high-risk plaques and studies implementation of evidence-based guidelines in clinical practice. Recent work explores socioeconomic disparities in cardiovascular outcomes, comorbidities such as ADHD and COPD, and drug efficacy (e.g., ezetimibe, beta-blockers) using large-scale registry data. The group also investigates aortic valve calcification and genetic factors in atherosclerosis through the SCAPIS study.
Articles Trends: His 2025 publications emphasize registry-based research, multimorbidity studies (e.g., COPD and coronary artery disease), and interventional trials (e.g., Helicobacter pylori screening in MI patients). The work spans biomarker discovery, population health analysis, and comparative effectiveness research of treatments and imaging modalities.
- Scientific Awards: None explicitly listed
Advising & Grants: - Supervised Moa Simonsson's thesis on bleeding complications post-MI - Current grants include the MIMS-study (metabolic surgery in post-MI obesity), ADHD-cardiometabolic research, and trials extending evidence from randomized controlled trials to broader populations. Past grants involved CCTA in chest pain evaluation and beta-blocker usage optimization.
Labs/Teams: Leads the Cardiology research group at KI DS and chairs the SWEDEHEART registry. Collaborates with the SCAPIS study team for atherosclerosis research and the National Program Group for cardiovascular disease policy initiatives.
