Professor of Epidemiology, specializing in nutrition and toxicology
Head of the Cardiovascular and Nutritional Epidemiology unit
Deputy head of department 2018-2022

Research

The overall aim of our research is to increase knowledge on how diet and drinking water, including their content of environmental pollutants affect our health. We combine epidemiological research with expertise in nutrition, toxicology and environmental medicine. By establishing this new area of research, we can further improve the understanding of factors of importance for the prevention of major chronic diseases and for sustainability.
