Forskningsbeskrivning

Min forskning rör graviditet, barnafödande och psykisk hälsa hos föräldrar och barn. Några speciella teman rör kopplingar mellan biologiska markörer (cytokiner, mikrober) och graviditesutfall och psykisk hälsa men också hur vården kan arbeta för att upptäcka psykisk ohälsa och stötta blivande föräldrar och familjer med små barn.
