I am a senior researcher and clinical epidemiologist. My educational background is in public health and I hold a PhD in clinical epidemiology.
My main research focus is epidemiological, register-based research, with a particular interest in social inequality and the factors that influence disease, disease trajectories, and prognosis. I investigate, among other things, how sociodemographic, lifestyle-related, and clinical factors influence the risk of disease and its various consequences, including complications, prognosis, and labour market attachment.
I am the course director for the PhD course Measuring Socioeconomic Position in Epidemiological and Clinical Research. In addition, I teach on a range of PhD courses, including Introduction to Clinical Epidemiology and Cancer Epidemiology Using the Danish Clinical Cancer Databases, and supervise master’s thesis and research-year students.
I collaborate with both national and international researchers and clinicians, for example from the Danish Cancer Institute, Novo Nordisk, Stanford University, and Emory University.
My primary area of work is research, as well as teaching and supervision. In addition, I run the SEPLINE project, which is a national initiative aimed at streamlining the use of socioeconomic data sources.
