I am heading the newly started research group Social Epidemiology at the section of Social Medicine. The primary focus of the groups is to use state of the art epidemiological methods to explore questions regarding sociale conditions and health. I have a major interest in explaining the role of intergenerational relationships in social inequality in health. I focus especially on three major themes in this field; 1) the importance of social foreground for health in old age, 2) social differences in heritability of mental and somatic conditions and 3) the importance of health on intergenerational educational mobility. In addition to these research themes, I also explore social inequality in development, treatment and survival of psychiatric disease. I have substantial national and international experience with register-based research and application of new and advanced methods within the field of social epidemiology. 

I am currently coorganizer of the NordicEpi conference, which will tak place in Copenhagen on June 12-14 2024. Please visit the following website for more information: NordicEpi 2024 - Welcome
