Biography

Fredrik Iredahl is a Senior Associate Professor at Linköping University with a focus on ongoing research related to microcirculation and metabolic disorders. His research investigates the smallest blood vessels in the skin and complications related to metabolic diseases, particularly in the context of obesity and type 2 diabetes. He highlights the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which affects an estimated 20-25% of the world's population. Iredahl examines how conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remain undiagnosed among patients with type 2 diabetes, despite being treatable risk factors for cardiovascular disease. By employing advanced optical techniques, he explores the dynamics of skin microcirculation and the early signs of vascular dysfunction, contributing significantly to the understanding of clinical complications arising from metabolic disorders.
