Forskningsbeskrivning
- My research aims at generating evidence-based knowledge that can be used in a
genetic-risk based prevention strategy for prostate cancer. My research
centers around evaluating and improving genetic risk-stratification for
aggressive prostate cancer, and on identifying ways for prevention among men
at high genetic risk.
In my research, I have demonstrated that close to 50% of men with a high
polygenic risk score will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their
lifetime, as compared with less than 10% among men with a low polygenic risk
score. My research also indicates that a high polygenic risk score is not
deterministic for a poor prostate cancer outcome and that factors linked to a
healthy lifestyle may compensate for a high genetic risk for prostate
cancer.

2021 Young Investigator Award, Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) US
2021 Scholar-in-Training Award, American Association for Cancer Research (AACR)
