About me
I am a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre for Pharmacoepidemiology in the Department of Medicine Solna, at the Karolinska Institute. My research focuses on maternal use of medication during pregnancy and the consequences for both the mother and offspring, and utilizes the population register data in Sweden and other Nordic countries.
Research description
My research interests lie within the fields of reproductive epidemiology and pharmacoepidemiology, with emphasis on maternal use of medication during pregnancy for chronic diseases, how psychiatric health influences reproductive health and vice versa, the role of androgens in the etiology in mood disorders, and the comorbidity of psychiatric illness in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Teaching portfolio
Since 2014, I have been a Group Leader in the Undergraduate Medical Program Scientific Development Course (Vetenskaplig Utveckling (VetU) i Läkarprogrammet) at KI, for both Term 1 and Term 5 project work.
