About me

  • My academic background includes a Master of Medical Science from Uppsala
    University, where I studied at Medical School and graduated as a medical
    doctor from the same university two years later. I received my doctoral
    degree at the Clinical Epidemiology unit (KEP) from Karolinska Institutet
    2010. The title of my thesis was “Epidemiological studies of suicide in
    patients with psychiatric illness”. In 2016, I was appointed Associate
    Professor of Psychiatry at Karolinska Institutet .
    I became a licensed physician in 2003 and then continued with my
    specialization in psychiatry at the Karolinska University Hospital in
    Stockholm, until 2011. Thereafter, I have held a position as a consultant
    psychiatrist at the Northwest Psychiatric Clinic in Stockholm. I have also
    worked as a director of studies for a research school for clinicians in
    epidemiology.
    At the Centre for Pharmacoepidemiology, I am working as a researcher,
    research coordinator and also the team leader for the profile area about
    “CNS and drugs”. By performing large epidemiological register studies our
    aim is to shed light on research questions within the field of psychiatry and
    the CNS.
