Ida Åström Malm is a Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Laboratory Science at the Department of Clinical Diagnostics. She is Programme Director of the Biomedical Laboratory Science programme with a specialization in Clinical Physiology, where she also teaches.

Ida is a licensed Biomedical Scientist in Clinical Physiology and holds a Master’s degree in Medical Science. She has clinical experience in Clinical Physiology and Nuclear Medicine. In June 2022, she defended her doctoral thesis entitled “Clinical Aspects of Arterial Wall Stiffness with a Focus on Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.” The aim of the thesis was to investigate clinical aspects of arterial stiffness, with particular focus on the association between arterial stiffness and abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Since completing her PhD, Ida has continued to develop her research profile in cardiovascular physiology, with a focus on arterial stiffness and vascular function. She is the principal investigator of the research project Oral and Vascular Health, which examines associations between oral health, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and arterial stiffness. She is also involved in a newly initiated research project investigating vascular function and physical capacity in women with lipedema.
