Summary
Jacob Bergstedt is an assistant professor in molecular epidemiology at Karolinska Institutet with eight years of research experience focused on psychiatric genomics, comorbidity between psychiatric and physical disorders, and the genetics of inflammation and immune response. He progressed from postdoctoral roles at Karolinska and Institut Pasteur to his current faculty position, bringing a quantitative edge from a PhD in automatic control and an engineering biology background. His work blends rigorous genomic epidemiology with systems-level thinking, enabling novel insights into how immune pathways intersect with mental health. Based in Stockholm, he combines deep academic training with international research experience, often bridging computational methods and biological interpretation in translational studies.
