Louise Sigfrid

Louise Sigfrid is our Clinical Research Fellow.

Louise’s main focus is the PREPARE (Platform for European Preparedness Against (Re-) emerging Epidemics) project. She studies incidence risk factors and clinical impact of infections with epidemic potential in Europe with a focus on acute respiratory infections, central nervous system infections, arbovirus and haemorrhagic fever syndromes in hospitalized and primary care patients.
