Associate Professor
Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark, Denmark
I hold a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and Cancer Research from Dublin City University, Ireland and performed a Post-doctoral Fellowship in Cancer Epidemiology at the U.S. National Cancer Institute and National Cancer Registry, Ireland. Currently, I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University where I lead the Breast Cancer Research Group. My research interests are in cancer epidemiology, specifically cancer risk and prognosis, and how molecular and genetic markers can be combined with population-based research to further understand the risk, prognosis, and aftermath of cancer. My recent contributions include developing biobanks coupled to registry data to elucidate predictive and prognostic cancer biomarkers, uncovering the incidence of complications after cancer-directed treatment and the impact of prescription drugs on cancer risk and prognosis, and developing and validating algorithms to identify the long-term risk of cancer recurrence, and prognosis after cancer recurrence.
