Research

  • I am recognized in the global scientific community for my contributions to cancer research, particularly in the field of breast cancer. Since 2010, I have held the position of Professor of Cancer Epidemiology. I lead a dedicated research team focused on understanding the causes and consequences of breast cancer. Our success stems from our ability to effectively combine clinical, genetic, molecular, and questionnaire data with national registries and biobanking resources.

    With over 400 scientific publications and an h-index of 71, my expertise spans epidemiology, clinical studies, and experimental research. This diverse experience supports my commitment to promoting effective interdisciplinary communication, a crucial skill in my recent roles as Co-Director of Cancer Research KI and as a member of prestigious organizations such as the Nobel Assembly, the Research Committee of the Swedish Cancer Society, and the Breast Cancer Association Consortium.

    My team's research has significantly advanced the understanding of breast cancer, initially emphasizing the role of inherited genetic factors in determining risk and aggressiveness. More recently, we have explored genetic/molecular associations with breast cancer subtypes and treatment responses. We have also investigated the critical role of mammographic breast density/features in the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.
