About me

  • I am a prior postdoc in professor Jesper Lagergren and an affiliated
    researcher in his group. Active collaboration with the group includes
    pan-Nordic studies in cancer, reflux disease, obesity and /helicobacter
    pylori/, but also teaching activities at KI.
    I also hold a part-time (30%) tenured professorship in Clinical Epidemiology
    at University of Oulu, Finland, where I lead my own research group. Our key
    projects include the Finnish national FINEGO study focused on
    esophago-gastric cancer surgery and surgical pathology.

Research

    long-term outcomes and health-related quality of life.
