About me
I am a senior researcher and associate professor of public health science and conduct epidemiological research as related to occupations, working conditions, socio-economic factors, lifestyle, etc. The focus has been on cardiovascular diseases, mental illness including suicide, and exclusion from the labor market due to ill-health. I teach on theory and epidemiological methods in public health science. Currently, I am also responsible for an advanced-level course on work organization and health. I have examined doctoral students in public health science and, since several years, I am also involved in the Doctoral programme in Public Health Science at Karolinska Institutet.
