Professor of Epidemiology with focus on Social Epidemiology
Docent of Public Health
Assistant and Deputy Head of Department of Epidemiology and Global Health
I am Professor of Epidemiology with focus on Social Epidemiology and Register-Based Research. My research mainly concerns different aspects of equity in health and care, using perspectives and methods from social epidemiology. I am particularly concerned with complex, or intersectional, inequities in the health system. Other areas I have investigated concern, for example, explanations to social inequities in health, neighborhood effects on health, life course epidemiology, psychosocial epidemiology, and stress research.
I am the Deputy Head of Department of Epidemiology and Global Health. I am the Chair of the Program Council for the Master Programs in Public Health (PRPH), and represent our programs in the Educational Strategic Board at the Faculty of Medicine.
My teaching mostly concerns theory and methods at adavanced and doctoral levels, for example epidemiology, social epidemiology, biostatistics, public health, and philosophy of science.
