About me

  • I am a senior researcher and associate professor of public health science and
    conduct epidemiological research as related to occupations, working
    conditions, socio-economic factors, lifestyle, etc. The focus has been on
    cardiovascular diseases, mental illness including suicide, and exclusion
    from the labor market due to ill-health. I teach on theory and
    epidemiological methods in public health science. Currently, I am also
    responsible for an advanced-level course on work organization and health. I
    have examined doctoral students in public health science and, since several
    years, I am also involved in the Doctoral programme in Public Health Science
    at Karolinska Institutet.
