Kort presentation
Jag bidrar med internationella erfarenheter och dokumenterad förmåga att leda forskning, utbildning och samverkan. Med bakgrund i kostvetenskap och dietetik vid Uppsala universitet har jag haft en akademisk karriär från forskningsassistent till forskare, lektor, kursledare, studierektor och prefekt samt projektledare i multinationella kliniska studier. Jag har etablerat ett omfattande internationellt nätverk. Min kompetens omfattar klinisk dietetik, geriatrisk nutrition och akademiskt ledarskap.
Nyckelord
- Dietetik
- Kliniska studier
- geriatrisk nutrition
- migration och hälsa
- akademiskt ledarskap
Forskning
Mitt intresse för forskning har sin grund i mångårigt kliniskt arbete inom primärvården och i den dagliga kontakten med patienter, särskilt äldre personer. Under min tid i primärvården arbetade jag vid vårdcentraler i multikulturella bostadsområden, vilket väckte ett särskilt intresse för äldre vuxna med migrationsbakgrund, deras hälsa och matvanor. Detta intresse ledde till en doktorsavhandling vid Karolinska Institutet. Efter disputationen har jag haft förmånen att verka i både akademiska och industriella miljöer, vilket har gett mig en bred och fördjupad förståelse för mitt forskningsområde, som successivt har utvecklats till att omfatta hela den äldre populationen oavsett kulturell och/eller etnisk bakgrund med fokus på att förbättra förståelsen av nutritionens roll i hälsa och sjukdom, särskilt inom den äldre målgruppen, dvs. geriatrisk nutrition. Genom att kombinera kliniska studier med epidemiologiska och kvalitativa metoder har jag strävat efter att utveckla evidensbaserade riktlinjer och interventioner som kan förbättra livskvaliteten för äldre vuxna genom en god nutritionsstatus.
