Samarbeten

Förutom egna projekt har Helena Backman (tidigare Fadl) deltagit i nationella multicenterstudier och internationellt forskningssamarbete har pågått flera år med Professor David Simmons vid Western University, Sydney, Australien som även affilierad forskare vid Örebro Universitet. FoU samarbete har även etablerats med Dansk forskargrupp, under ledning av Tine Clausen.

Helena ingår i styrgruppen för COPE- den aktuella studien om Covid infektion hos gravida som pågår just nu- www.copestudien.se.

Uppdrag

Helena är Ordförande för DIAB-ARG, en nationell arbetsgrupp för Diabetes och Graviditet i Sverige inom SFOG (www.sfog.se). Helena Backman var även medlem i expertgruppen i samband med det nationella arbetet på Socialstyrelsen kring framtagandet nya riktlinjer för GDM 2015 och 2026.
