About me

  • I am an assistant professor in psychiatric epidemiology at the Centre for Eating Disorders Innovation (CEDI) with primary research interest in eating disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders. My current research is mainly focused on avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).

    Using epidemiological and twin designs as well as genome-wide association studies, I am trying to understand the genetic and environmental causes of ARFID, its comorbidities (e.g., with autism, ADHD, and anxiety), and its course over time.

    My research is currently supported by
    - Svenska Sällskapet för Medicinsk Forskning (SSMF): Postdoctoral Grant
    - Söderström-Königska Foundation, Swedish Society of Medicine (SLS)
    - Hjärnfonden
    - Fonden för Psykisk Hälsa
    - Erik and Edith Fernström Foundation for Medical Research
    - Fredrik och Ingrid Thurings Stiftelse
