Research

  • My main research interest is in the field of pharmacoepidemiology. My current
    projects include studies of the risks and benefits of psychotropic
    medications (e.g., antidepressants, ADHD medication) using large-scale
    population data (e.g., national health registers, medical claim database).
    As a separate research interest, I've also participated in a series of
    studies on the associations between mental and somatic disorders, using
    various data sources from Sweden, China, and the US.
