My research area is molecular epidemiology with a special focus on cardiometabolic disturbances, such as obesity and insulin resistance and their role in the development of subclinical and clinical cardiovascular disease. Although also using traditional epidemiological approaches suited for some research questions, the main focus is molecular epidemiology; studies of how cardiovascular disease and related conditions vary with DNA variation, RNA expression, circulating biomarkers such as proteins and metabolites, as well as with structures and functions measured by imaging.
I am also a member of the Global Young Academy since 2012.
