I am a One Health Infection Epidemiologist/Expert. I hold an MSc and PhD in epidemiology and Public Health from Umeå University, Sweden. I also completed a postdoc at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, Norway. I am using “The One Health Approach” where interdisciplinarians work together to understand the interplay between animal and human health and their shared environment to ensure health for all. This aligns with my interest to better understand, prevent, and control Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases including Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Neglected Tropical Diseases.
My work includes teaching and research and I carry out technical consultancies for international organizations and institutes related to my expertise.

Prediction and preparedness against outbreaks with devastating economic impact

I have been teaching in different international settings.

At Umeå University, I am a recognized university teacher and I taught different courses with a focus on One Health infection epidemiology, infectious disease epidemiology, disaster epidemiology, and public and global health.

I am the founder and leader of the following two courses at Umeå University:

-Infectious Disease Epidemiology and One Health Response- 7.5 ECTs- Course code UMU-38508                 

-Advanced Infectious Disease Epidemiology and One Health Response- 7.5 ECTs- Course code UMU-38509
