About me
- Associate professor in clinical neuroscience and physician specialized in
internal medicine, cardiology, and psychiatry.
My research interests are early risk factors for cardiovascular disease and
psychiatric disorders, mental stress and exhaustion disorders, as well as
prevention and treatment of stress related disorders.
We are also performing research on empathy, compassion and how thoughts,
feelings and behavior at both individual and group level are affected under
stress. How different types of mind sets are related to sustainability, and
whether these mind sets and in the long run behaviors can be influenced, are
the subject of several studies we conduct in collaboration with, among
others, researchers at Lund University.
How the COVID-19 pandemic impact mental health, inequality and particularly
vulnerable groups, and how we can develop evidence-based guidelines and
improve multilevel governance is the focus of the comprehensive research
project PERISCOPE, in which we participate together with a significant number
of partners from different parts of EU.
