About me
- I am a PhD student at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and
Biostatistics, interested in exploring genetic and environmental factors to
better understand complex phenotypes.
My doctoral research, and my primary research aim entails going beyond
studying only body mass index and explore how adiposity influence the risk of
cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in light of unmeasured confounding
and potential mediating factors. I am also interested in the life-course
perspectives in aging and health.
I have a master's degree in public health science from Stockholm University
and a bachelor's degree in sports science from The Swedish School of Sport
and Health Sciences.
