Marta A. Kisiel is a specialist physician and Associate Professor in Occupational and Environmental Medicine at Uppsala University and Uppsala University Hospital, with an interdisciplinary background spanning medicine, polymer chemistry, and environmental health sciences. Her academic profile is distinguished by a strong integration of clinical practice and translational research, with a primary focus on the health effects of environmental and occupational exposures, post-viral conditions, work capacity, quality of life, respiratory function, and biological markers of disease. She has led and contributed to major research initiatives on post-COVID conditions and socioeconomic inequalities in environmental health risks, supported by competitive national foundations and regional research councils. Her publication record reflects sustained productivity in high-quality peer-reviewed journals with consistent citation impact, demonstrating both scientific rigor and international visibility. Dr. Kisiel maintains active collaborations with multidisciplinary teams across Sweden and internationally, including partnerships in clinical medicine, public health, and preventive psychiatry, and she has been instrumental in establishing cross-specialty clinical forums that bridge pulmonology, dermatology, and occupational medicine. As a principal investigator and supervisor, she plays a central role in training doctoral candidates and mentoring early-career clinicians and researchers, while also contributing extensively to undergraduate and specialist medical education through course leadership, thesis supervision, and problem-based learning. Beyond academia, she serves as an expert advisor to regional health authorities on evidence-based care for post-COVID conditions, contributes to national clinical knowledge platforms, and regularly acts as peer reviewer and committee member within the scientific community. Through her combined research, teaching, clinical leadership, and policy advisory work, Dr. Kisiel has achieved significant societal impact by strengthening occupational health practice, informing public health decision-making, and advancing care for individuals affected by environmentally and work-related diseases.  She has 824 citations from 51 documents with an h-index of 16.
