During the years 2011 to 2013 led his research at five very severely ill people received a new windpipe coated with stem cells from their own bodies. Three of the operations were performed in Sweden. Here he is director of the Center for Translational Regenerative Medicine at Karolinska Institute which is working to develop laboratory-made body.

As grounds for its decision indicates Research Council researcher has violated the terms authority, to disburse research grants, including by carrying out research without having been approved by ethics review and by on several occasions published incorrect or incomplete information in scientific journals.

Research Council writes in a press release that they believe luftstrupsoperationerna is research. For research to have carried out on humans requires an ethics condition and such condition is missing for the said research. This relationship has Inspectorate for Health Care, IVO, reported for prosecution.
To conduct clinical drug trials and to manufacture such drugs Advanced therapy requires permission from the Medical Products Agency. Although there is something missing that has led to a police report from the MPA.
