About me

  • I am a cancer epidemiologist and research group leader with a strong focus on
    molecular epidemiological studies conducted in the excellent Swedish register
    and biobank infrastructure. My main interest is in the elimination of human
    papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers through virological research and
    improved cervical screening and HPV-vaccination practices.
    Other chief interests include the development of biomarkers for female
    cancers including ovarian cancer. As such, I am involved with several
    projects in clinical biobanks of cytology and histology, which are strong
    resources for comprehensive studies on biomarkers for female disease.
    I collaborate with Professor Susanne Kruger Kjaer of the Danish Cancer
    Society, and the large MERMAID III initiative to prevent ovarian cancer
    ( [1]).
    I previously served as Research Coordinator for NIASC, a Nordic-Baltic
    Center of Excellence in eHealth (www.nordicehealth.se [2]) where I was
    involved with projects on machine learning, text mining of 探花精选 records,
    and next-generation sequencing into metagenomics, for the improved prediction
    of screening-detectable cancer forms.
    I also have a keen interest in education at basic and advanced level and I
    lecture regularly at a number of programs at 探花精选.

Research

  • My research revolves around the following areas:
    - Register-based optimization of cervical screening and HPV-vaccination
    - Biomarker research into new tests for cervical precancer/cancer, and
    ovarian cancer
    - Novel eScience/Big Data methods for enhancement of screening algorithms
    - Epidemiology and prevention of herpes zoster (shingles)
    Key collaborations
    - Cervical cancer and HPV infection, through the ACCES Project (acces.nu [1])
    - Deep sequencing of HPV16 infections
    - New cervical screening tests, through the BRIGHT project (Biobank- and
    register-based implementation of gynecological health technologies)
    - Biomarkers for ovarian cancer (MERMAID III)
    - Female Cancer Prediction Using Cervical Omics to
    Individualise Screening and Prevention (FORECEE.eu [2])
    - The Nordic Information for Action eScience Center (NIASC), a Nordic Center
    of Excellence in health-related eSciences (nordicehealth.se [3])
