About me

  • I am a postdoctoral researcher at Karolinska Institutet. I am an environmental scientist and public health specialist by training, and did my PhD in environmental epidemiology at ISGlobal and IDIAP Jordi Gol in Spain. During my PhD I focused on the effects of the urban environment, especially ambient air pollution, on the development of childhood obesity. Nowadays, my main research of interest is evaluating the effect of multiple urban exposures on multiple health outcomes in children and adults across Sweden, Europe and India. I have a special interest in issues related to the environment, public health, urban environment and cardio-metabolic outcomes, especially in lower-middle-income countries and across the different socioeconomic layers.

Research

  • I am currently the PI of the Improvement in CARDIOvascular health by reducing exposure to Air Pollution and NOIse (CARDIO-APNOI) Project, funded by FORMAS and Ulla Hamberg Angeby and Lennart Angeby Foundation. The projects aim to:

    To evaluate the complex mixture of air pollution and noise on adverse cardiovascular events in Scandinavian countries.
    To evaluate how changes in air pollution and noise levels related to residential relocation influence the development of adverse cardiovascular events in multiple Scandinavian countries.
    To systematically evaluate, in multiple adult and administrative cohorts across Europe, the association between air pollution and noise with adverse cardiovascular events and to assess which aspects of the urban exposome have the greatest impact on this association.
