He currently holds an outpatient clinic for patients with diabetes at the Department of Endocrinology, Skåne University Hospital, Sweden.
His research focuses on the disease mechanisms in insulin-secreting beta cells associated with type 2 diabetes. He has developed metabolomics and imaging techniques to explore metabolic events in beta cells and islets. More recently, he has elucidated how genetic variants associated with type 2 diabetes contribute to disease mechanisms.
Professor Mulder has taught extensively at the undergraduate and graduate level at the Medical and Natural Science faculties at Lund University; this has involved lectures and group tuition. Mulder is the author of a textbook on diabetes in Swedish. He has supervised eight PhD students and 26 postdoctoral fellows. Professor Mulder has been Deputy Head of Department of Experimental Medical Science. He is currently a member of the Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC) management group and Vice Co-ordinator and board member of EXODIAB, a national strategic research area in diabetes.
