Profile

As a professor of metabolic disease epidemiology and consultant physician at the Department of Clinical Epidemiology, I conduct research based on healthcare databases. I am especially interested in the risk, medical treatment, and complications of type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and obesity. I do research within pharmacoepidemiology on the use and effects of medications for obesity, diabetes, cardio-renal disease, antibiotics and vaccines.

My primary area of ​​responsibility is coordinating the metabolic disease epidemiology research activities at the Department of Clinical Epidemiology, supervising younger researchers i.e. PhD students, Postdocs, and research year medical students. I have extensive experience with real-world evidence and research project management, including research services to governmental institutions, biotech companies, and regulators. I do quite a lot of teaching, mainly at Aarhus University.
