About me
- I work as a health economist at the Stockholm Centre for Health Economics
(StoCHE) at the Centre for Health Economics, Informatics and Health Care
Research (CHIS) at Stockholm Region. I am also affiliated to research at LIME
at KI.
At StoCHE, I work mainly with health economic evaluations of different
interventions that Stockholm Region needs to make decisions about.
I have previously worked as a health economist at the National Board of
Health and Welfare and have a PhD in health economics from Uppsala
University.
I have a Master's degree in development economics from the University of
Amsterdam and defended my thesis in health economics in 2021, at the Faculty
of Medicine at Uppsala University. My dissertation examined the value of
social investments, with a focus on parenting programs. Furthermore, I worked
extensively on developing calculation tools for municipalities that can be
used to forecast the value of preventive interventions.
Research
- My research focuses on examining the economic value of different types of
interventions in health care and other sectors where interventions can have
an impact on health. I work broadly on issues ranging from primary prevention
to treatment. What drives me forward in research is the ability to produce
information that may be valouable for decision makers, and that contributes
to the best possible health, for all, based on the limited resources we have
in society.
