Research

My main focus is cancer epidemiology, with a particular focus on prognosis after cancer. I have a keen interest in identifying prognostic factors that can support the detection of individuals at risk of complications, cancer recurrence, decreased attachment to the labor market, or death. Currently, I focus on the impact of obesity on cancer prognosis, including its interaction with social inequality and comorbidity. I am deeply committed to investigating social inequality, both in the context of cancer and more broadly in the consequences of various diseases.

Profile

I am a clinical epidemiologist, currently employed as a postdoc. My educational background is in public health and I hold a PhD in clinical epidemiology. My work primarily focuses on cancer, as well as social inequality in disease and its consequences more broadly.

Cooperation and dissemination

I collaborate with both national and international researchers and clinicians, for example from the Danish Cancer Institute, Stanford University, and Emory University.

Teaching

I teach in the PhD courses Introduction to Clinical Epidemiology and Cancer Epidemiology using the Danish Clinical Cancer Databases, as well as master's level courses related to epidemiology. In addition, I supervise thesis and research year students.

Job responsibilities

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.
