I am a postdoctoral researcher at the National Centre for Register-based Research at Aarhus University. My research focuses on understanding why individuals differ in their risk of developing complex disorders, their clinical course, and subsequent health outcomes. I am particularly interested in psychiatric disorders and in clinically relevant differences between population groups, including sex differences.
I have a background in clinical pharmacy and quantitative health research. In my work, I use genetic, epidemiological, and population-based data to investigate clinically relevant questions related to disease risk, prognosis, and precision medicine.
My research lies at the intersection of genetic epidemiology, psychiatric epidemiology, and precision medicine. I investigate factors that contribute to differences in disease risk, diagnosis, clinical trajectories, and outcomes, with the aim of improving our understanding of heterogeneity between individuals and patient groups.
My current research includes statistical genetics, polygenic analyses, gene–environment research, and methodological questions related to the validity and interpretation of genetic associations. I am also developing research on clinically relevant differences in disease development and prognosis.
I use large-scale genetic, clinical, and population-based data together with statistical and epidemiological methods. My broader research interests include psychiatric disorders, migraine, and metabolic disorders, and the use of longitudinal health data to support more precise approaches to risk assessment, prognosis, prevention and treatment.
I currently lead and teach postgraduate courses in R programming for researchers in health and epidemiological sciences, with emphasis on practical data management, data analysis, reproducible workflows, and the application of R in research.
I also support the development of early-career researchers through supervision and mentoring
My work includes the design, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of epidemiological and genetic studies using large-scale health and population data. I contribute to interdisciplinary research projects and collaborate with researchers across epidemiology, genetics, statistics, and clinical disciplines.
I lead and teach postgraduate courses in R programming and supervise and mentor PhD students and other researchers. I also contribute to scientific communication through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, and peer review.
