Current Research Interests

Dr. Carlsson is Director of Clinical Research at MSK’s Josie Robertson Surgery Center and Associate Attending Epidemiologist, with dual appointments in MSK’s Departments of Surgery (Urology Service) and Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Her line of research focuses on screening and early detection of prostate cancer, including multiplex testing and risk-stratified strategies that incorporate clinical information, biomarkers and magnetic resonance imaging, as recently funded by an NCI U01 award (PI: Carlsson). She also holds an appointment as Associate Professor of Experimental Urology affiliated with the Institute of Clinical Sciences, Sahlgrenska Academy, Gothenburg University, in Sweden where she is an investigator of two large randomized controlled trials of prostate cancer screening (GOTEBORG-1&2), as recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine (Hugosson J, et al. N Engl J Med 2022; 387:2126-2137). She recently completed a K22 career development award from the NCI to improve shared decision making for breast and prostate cancer screening. She serves on the NCCN and AUA guidelines for early detection of prostate cancer.
