Current research
With a background in epidemiological research, I use data from the Danish Pathology Data Bank, the Danish Skin Cancer Registry, and large genetic consortia to investigate the epidemiology of non-melanoma skin cancer. The projects are expected to provide insights into the best treatment and most cost-effective methods for keratinocyte cancers, as well as the relationships between causal and non-causal risk factors for skin cancer.
Main interests
- Skin cancer
- Epidemiology
- Risk factors
- Mendelian Randomisation
