My research focuses on understanding the role of lifestyle in health. Using various epidemiological data sources and study designs, I investigate how physical activity, dietary intake, and body weight are associated with different health outcomes.

My primary focus is on kidney cancer, where I study risk factors for the disease, quality of life, and the impact of lifestyle after a kidney cancer diagnosis.

I also investigate how mHealth can support healthy lifestyle habits in various patient groups. I have developed several digital solutions aimed at promoting healthy eating habits and physical activity. As the PI or Co-PI, I lead several large randomized intervention studies evaluating the impact of these digital solutions on lifestyle behaviors in different patient populations.

I am a lecturer, group leader and seminar leader at several different educational programs at ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, including the Medical program,  the Master’s programme in nutrition science and the Research school in epidemiology for clinicians.
