About me

  • I am a researcher at the Department of Public Health Sciences and currently
    employed as a research coordinator in the research group of Social
    Epidemiology. By the background, I am a medical doctor with specialization in
    epidemiology. In 2007 I defended my PhD in epidemiology at the Institute of
    Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet. I was then working as a
    postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Public Health Sciences and the
    Institute of Environmental Medicine, KI. On completion of the postdoc period,
    I worked as an assistant professor (FoAss) at the Department of Public Health
    Sciences, KI.
    My main areas of research are epidemiology and public health sciences with a
    particular focus on substance use epidemiology, intergenerational
    transmission of health and ill-health determinants and register-based
    methodology. In addition, my research involves conducting systematic reviews
    and meta-analyses.
    At the Department of Public Health Sciences I have been and I am currently
    involved in the PhD, Master and Bachelor Programmes in Public Health Sciences
    and Epidemiology carrying out my duties as a course organizer, examiner and a
    teacher.

Research

  • I am running a series of interdisciplinary projects, collaborating within and
    outside of KI as well as internationally. The projects are primarily
    population-based, register-based cohort studies with multigenerational
    linkages and a special focus on: transmission and accumulation of substance
    use harm within and between several consecutive generations
  • life-course and
    intergenerational predictors and consequences of substance use, including
    social causation and social selection mechanisms
  • and cross-generational
    patterns of substance use. The projects also deal with health and social
    inequalities in migrants as well as include a series of systematic reviews
    and meta-analyses.
