About me

I am associate professor in Epidemiology, with undergraduate trainings in
Company management, Psychology-Pedagogy and a PhD in Medical Sciences.

Research

My research interests are in the areas of social, cardiovascular,
reproductive, psychiatric and life course epidemiology, most often at the
intersection of two or more of these fields. Our current projects aim to
contribute to better knowledge about the association between bereavement and
health, early life determinants of cardiovascular diseases and risk factors
for certain psychiatric disorders.
