About me
Since fall 2015, I am a specialist physician in clinical oncology, certified by the National Board of Health, Sweden. Since then, I work at the Pediatric Oncology Unit, Karolinska University Hospital. Here I see children with all kinds of malignant diseases but have the responsibility for those with lymphoma and bone sarcoma. I am a postdoc at the Clinical Epidemiology Unit, Clinical Cancer Epidemiology Group, were I focus on epidemiological studies on primarily non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk and prognosis.
Research description
I focus on risk and prognostic factors in non-Hodgkin lymphoma in adults. Together with collegues, I am currently starting up a genetic study on pediatric lymphoma patients.
