Short presentation

I work as a senior lecturer at the Department of Food Studies, Nutrition and Dietetics on a 25% basis, and spend the remainder of my time as an assessor in pharmacoepidemiology at the Swedish Medical Products Agency. I am also affiliated with Medical Epidemiology at the Department of Surgical Sciences.

My research interests include how we are exposed to various substances through food and how dietary habits affect public health, from both nutritional and toxicological perspectives.

Biography

I hold a Master's degree in biomedicine and a PhD in clinical nutrition, medical science, from the Department of Public Health and Caring Sciences at Uppsala University.

I have worked on public health issues for Region Stockholm, with a focus on epidemiology, and was affiliated with the Department of Public Health Sciences at Karolinska Institutet during that time.

I have also worked at the Swedish Food Agency with national dietary surveys, biomonitoring, scientific assessments, and studies of nutrient and toxic substance contents of foods.
