Research

My research domain belongs to the area of 'Reproductive Epidemiology'. The key focus areas in reproductive epidemiology are:

1. Pre-conception care

2. Early life origins (Developmental origins of health and disease)

3. Nutrition (pertaining to public health)

4. Non-communicable disease (Cancers, Diabetes, and Cardio-metabolic disease)

5. Epidemiology

6. Maternal and Child Health

Research area for PhD is early life factors and adult onset of chronic diseases, something we call today as DOHaD (Development Origin of Health and Diseases).

Looking at Swedish medical registers and Birth cohorts primarily, Malmo Birth Data Cohort and Malmo offspring study.

Working with Peter Nilsson and other research members of EpiHealth (Epidemiology for Health).
