I am a group leader at the Folkhälsan Research Center, PI of the Fin-HIT cohort study and responsible for carrying out epidemiological research on the development of overweight and weight in children. We apply multidisciplinary approaches in our research e.g. incorporating computational genomics, health sciences, and nutritional epidemiology. The main objective is to identify risk or protective factors, and their underlying molecular mechanisms related to weight gain, which could be used for early prevention purposes.
I have basic education in human nutrition, which I have expanded with my experience on clinical research, and omics sciences.
