About me

I am senior research specialist and docent in epidemiology at Karolinska
Institutet, I have a background in biostatistics, and my research is mainly
focused on childhood cancer and rare genetic syndromes.
2022, Associate Professor of Epidemiology (Docent), Karolinska Institutet
2013, PhD in Medical Science, Karolinska Institutet
2008, MSc in Biostatistics, University of Milano–Bicocca, Italy
2006, BSc in Statistics, University of Milano–Bicocca, Italy

Research

I am the principal investigator of two Nordic collaborative studies on the
role of parental socioeconomic factors on childhood cancer incidence and
survival. I am also the principal investigator of a Nordic study on the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on childhood cancer and I am a member of the
Childhood Cancer &
Leukemia International Consortium (CLIC,
https://www.clic.ngo/ [1]).
I am working on studies on cancer risk among individuals with rare genetic
syndromes and I am part of the COSMOS study, an international cohort study on
the effects of mobile phone use on health (https://thecosmosproject.org/ [2])
