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])

Grants
- Swedish Research Council1 January 2023 - 31 December 2025This proposal aims to utilize the pandemic as a “natural experiment”, by studying childhood cancer incidence before, during and after the pandemic in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. The pandemic has provided a unique opportunity to test the hypothesis of an infectious disease etiology for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, enhanced by the different pandemic strategies in the Nordic countries. We also aim to study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on childhood cancer patients, both regarding susceptibility to COVID-19 in long-term childhood cancer survivors, and, for those diagnosed with childhood cancer during the pandemic, whether the path through primary care to cancer diagnosis and short-term survival has changed compared to the period prior to the pandemic. An important aspect of this project is that we will study if the social inequalities in number of contacts with healthcare and childhood cancer survival have worsened during the pandemic.We will utilize the unique infrastructure for register-based research in the Nordic countries: for incidence trends and health care pattern around the pandemic, new data will be collected from national health data registers and regional primary care. For COVID-19 risk in long-term survivors the unique Nordic cohort of childhood cancer survivors, SALiCCS, will be utilized, including 20 000 survivors, their siblings, and population controls.The project will provide new knowledge on childhood cancer etiology and childhood cancer late effects.
