About me

  • I am afilliated to research in Emilie Friberg's research group. I am
    particularly interested in studying social protections among individuals with
    chronic disease as well as health economic questions on how best to use our
    limited resources to improve population health.
    My research is largely focused on the working life and income trajectories of
    people with MS as well as the societal costs of MS incurred from healthcare
    use and days off work. MS is a chronic and often progressive neurological
    disease characterised by heterogeneity and a wide range of physical and
    cognitive symptoms which can affect work capacity in numerous ways. People
    with MS may require sickness absence (SA) or disability pension (DP) benefits
    if they are unable to work because of their MS. Receiving SA or DP benefits
    are referred to as having work disability. Most of the research I have
    involved in concerns aspects of work disability among people in Sweden.
    Within MS research, I am particularly interested in the socioeconomic
    consequences of MS and research involving the early stages of MS (around the
    time of their MS diagnosis), where there is a key window of opportunity.
