Personal profile
Research
The aim of my PhD project is to understand the genetic and environmental risk factors for borderline personality disorder and their interplay, using both genotyping and register-based data. My goal is to contribute to a better understanding of this complex diagnosis and support earlier diagnosis and targeted interventions.
Profile
I have a master's degree in epidemiology from the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and many years of experience working the interdisciplinary fields of psychiatric epidemiology and psychiatric genetics. My research interests include disentangling genetic and environmental risk factors for psychiatric disorders, especially mood and personality disorders.
Teaching
I have experience teaching basic theories and methods in genetic epidemiology at the graduate level and give the lecture about personality disorders at the annual "Introduction to Psychiatric Epidemiology" PhD course at Aarhus University.
