About me

  • Adjunct lecturer/Senior research specialist
    I am an adjunct lecturer in scientific development at the department of
    Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, MEB. I am an examiner and coordinator
    for the degree project in medicine (master thesis) at the medical program at
    KI, semester 8.
    My research is mainly focused on paediatric epidemiology by combining several
    approaches to investigate atopic diseases in childhood. This is achieved by
    utilising different cohorts (twin- clinical- and register based cohorts),
    methods (twin-modelling, longitudinal data and sibling design) and biomarkers
    (proteins/cytokines, IgE, FeNO, eosinophils and metabolic markers) to find
    the causes and consequences of non-communicable diseases.
    * Post-doc in Epidemiology, MEB, KI, Sweden (2015-2019)
    * PhD in Neuroscience, Rudolf Magnus Brain Center, Utrecht University, the
    Netherlands (2013)
