I work as a registered nurse at the Heart Centre, Norrland University Hospital, and I am an affiliated researcher at the Department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine. My research is primarily epidemiological, focusing on risk factors and biomarkers to detect and prevent the development of cardiovascular disease at an early stage. The data for my research mainly originate from large population-based studies such as SCAPIS, the OLIN studies, and MONICA.
