Research

I investigate nutrition and how it can contribute to prevention and remission of cardiometabolic diseases.

I work with:

• large population-based studies to understand how plant-based diets impact the development of cardiometabolic diseases
• intervention trials to understand the role of dietary intake in remission of type 2 diabetes
• development of methods for causal inference and objective dietary assessment

My aim is to create better knowledge on how we through dietary changes can prevent and even put people in remission of their cardiometabolic disease

As Associate Professor in nutrition and cardiometabolic disease I work on how to compose diets to the general population and people with cardiometabolic diseases that are both health and sustainable.

My interests include causal inference methods, objective dietary assessment, plant-based diets and prevention and remission of type 2 diabetes.

I have a Master in human nutrition and a PhD in epidemiology. I am working in a shared position between Aarhus University and the Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus.
