About me

  • Associate Professor (Docent) at the Department of Neuroscience and the
    Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
    I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and
    Biostatistics and the Neuroscience Department at Karolinska Institutet in
    Stockholm, Sweden. My main research interest is how genes and environment
    play together to produce individual differences in quality of life throughout
    lifespan as well as in expertise. Why do some people fare better than others
    throughout life and in old age in terms of cognitive, mental and somatic
    health? Why are some people more successful and become experts in a given
    field? Understanding how genetic predispositions interplay with environmental
    factors will reveal the nature of phenotypic associations observed in daily
    life, which will not only allow us to identify truly causal and modifiable
    risk/protective factors (relevant environments), but will ultimately also
    help us to identify those who are at greatest risk or may benefit most from
    interventions.
    Dr. Mosing is a behavioural geneticist who conducted her PhD research at the
    QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute and the University of Queensland,
    Australia. Her PhD thesis centred on the genetics of complex behaviour, with
    a particular focus on Quality of Life and health in the second half of life.
    After completing her PhD (end 2011), she held postdoc positions at the
    Neuroscience and the Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics Departments at
    Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, before she became an Assistant
    Professor in 2016 and an Associate Professor (Docent) in 2020. Since 2020,
    Dr. Mosing also holds a senior research fellowship at the Melbourne School of
    Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne, Australia.

Research

  • *Major projects: *
    * Gene-environment interplay underlying mental and somatic health related
    outcomes throughout lifetime
    * Gene-environment interplay underlying the acquisition of expertise and
    skill learning using music as a model behaviour
    I am particularly interested in the effect of potentially modifiable risk
    factors (environments) including cultural and social engagement, SES and
    education, diet, stress related factors, and sports and music training on a
    variety of health related outcomes including depression, anxiety,
    stress-related diseases, cognitive (general intelligence) and age-related
    somatic outcomes (dementia, cardiovascular disease, and mortality). My
    research aims at identifying causal environmental influences potentially
    suitable as starting points for interventions.
    *Sub-projects: *
    GE interplay underlying
    * Cultural engagement in midlife and health outcomes and mortality late in
    life
    * Birth-characteristics and health outcomes
    * Modifiable risk factors for dementia
    * Effects of loneliness and social isolation on health and mortality
    * Stressful life events and mental and somatic health outcomes
    * Subjective well-being and quality of life late in life
    * SES-related factors and health outcomes
