I am a clinical dietitian with a PhD in environmental medicine. Most of my research is on nutrition and/or environmental pollutants and health, mainly cardiometabolic diseases. The large datasets included in Northern Sweden Health and Disease Study (NSHDS), with data from the middle of the 1980s and forward, are used in many of the projects I work with.

I work part of my time as scientific secretary at the Biobank Research Unit, with support to researchers who want to perform studies within NSHDS.
