My research focuses on how health technologies and interventions translate into people's everyday practices and lived lives. I am a sociologist by training and work with qualitative methods.

Current research
In my current research, I bring together perspectives from patients, their relatives, stem cell scientists and other stakeholders to develop methods for early patient engagement in stem cell research. I study how patients live with their medical conditions, what future possible therapeutic setups and data demands might mean for patients, and how patients' views on these issues might be used to inform the development of future potential stem cell therapies. The project is affiliated with the research group PREPARE, which is a part of the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW). 

I am also involved in the research project Screened? funded by Fonden for Faglig Udvikling i Speciallægepraksis and Helsefonden.  Here, I study how the use of video consultations in medical specialist practice reconfigures clinical practices and patient-doctor relationships within psychiatry, gynaecology, neurology and dermatology, including how video consultations come to mean different things to patients.

Previous research
In my PhD research (completed 2022), I examined the potentials and challenges of supporting the mental health and well-being of newly arrived migrant adolescents in Denmark through school settings. Through an ethnographic study of two classrooms, I examined how a specific classroom-based mental health intervention came to life in very different ways, in conjunction with everyday classroom practices, the hopes, desires and concerns of adolescents and teachers as well as the political and institutional conditions of the two schools.
