About me

I am from Stockholm, Sweden and have always had a great interest in understanding mechanisms in the human being. Working with science felt like a natural choice for me.

Research description

My primary focus is pediatric epidemiological research.

I work with comorbideties and consequences of  obesity during childhood. By linking the national register for childhood obesity treatment (http://www.e-boris.se/in-english/) with several of the Sweden’s national registers we are investigating consequences of obesity in childhood and adolescence.
