About me
- Associate Professor (Docent) at the Department of Neuroscience and the
Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and
Biostatistics and the Neuroscience Department at Karolinska Institutet in
Stockholm, Sweden. My main research interest is how genes and environment
play together to produce individual differences in quality of life throughout
lifespan as well as in expertise. Why do some people fare better than others
throughout life and in old age in terms of cognitive, mental and somatic
health? Why are some people more successful and become experts in a given
field? Understanding how genetic predispositions interplay with environmental
factors will reveal the nature of phenotypic associations observed in daily
life, which will not only allow us to identify truly causal and modifiable
risk/protective factors (relevant environments), but will ultimately also
help us to identify those who are at greatest risk or may benefit most from
interventions.
Dr. Mosing is a behavioural geneticist who conducted her PhD research at the
QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute and the University of Queensland,
Australia. Her PhD thesis centred on the genetics of complex behaviour, with
a particular focus on Quality of Life and health in the second half of life.
After completing her PhD (end 2011), she held postdoc positions at the
Neuroscience and the Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics Departments at
Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, before she became an Assistant
Professor in 2016 and an Associate Professor (Docent) in 2020. Since 2020,
Dr. Mosing also holds a senior research fellowship at the Melbourne School of
Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
Research
- *Major projects: *
* Gene-environment interplay underlying mental and somatic health related
outcomes throughout lifetime
* Gene-environment interplay underlying the acquisition of expertise and
skill learning using music as a model behaviour
I am particularly interested in the effect of potentially modifiable risk
factors (environments) including cultural and social engagement, SES and
education, diet, stress related factors, and sports and music training on a
variety of health related outcomes including depression, anxiety,
stress-related diseases, cognitive (general intelligence) and age-related
somatic outcomes (dementia, cardiovascular disease, and mortality). My
research aims at identifying causal environmental influences potentially
suitable as starting points for interventions.
*Sub-projects: *
GE interplay underlying
* Cultural engagement in midlife and health outcomes and mortality late in
life
* Birth-characteristics and health outcomes
* Modifiable risk factors for dementia
* Effects of loneliness and social isolation on health and mortality
* Stressful life events and mental and somatic health outcomes
* Subjective well-being and quality of life late in life
* SES-related factors and health outcomes
